Why Skybound?
There are a growing number of cheerleading gyms in South Australia, so finding the best fit for you/your daughter can be a complex task. We have been in this industry for some time, and our Gym Owner has had the distinct advantage of being a participant in some of the largest and most successful gyms in the Eastern states (where cheerleading is recognised to be at its peak of growth and success) across a number of seasons, which has afforded our gym a solid foundation of competitive industry knowledge and experience. Our Gym Owner is also a fully registered psychologist, which has meant that Skybound has become a hub of not just quality cheerleading tuition, but also of building resilience, psychological wellbeing, and a sense of belonging in girls and women in the community.
We are proud to share with you just some of the things that you can expect to receive at Skybound:
• Quality technical training that has a strong emphasis on safety, and perfection before progression
• Creative and innovative stunts and choreography. All of our choreography is done in-house, which means no expenses associated with flying in interstate or international choreographers
• Classy and original training and competition uniforms. All of our designs (except for our t-shirts!) are done in-house, which means our athletes save on design fees. By having a compulsory uniform, athletes need only have one outfit for their sport and are not pressured to "collect" expensive brand names and a multitude of options; they also enjoy the professionalism in their presentation, and the feeling of being unified with their teammates.
• Professionalism and sound communication between Skybound staff and athletes/families
• Coaches with unrivalled experience, including from some of the biggest gyms on the East coast of Australia; and fully certified under the USASF/IASF
• A small team of coaching staff who have been carefully selected, and who work closely together
• A whole lot of passion and a whole lot of love – our coaches live and breathe cheerleading, and are wholeheartedly invested in their athletes
• Devoted attention to each athlete and each team, no matter the level or ability. We believe in providing the true Skybound experience to EVERY athlete in our program
• More than just a sport: we uniquely feature a strong focus on the development of resilient, confident, and ambitious young women
• Being welcomed into a wholesome and inclusive family culture
• A beautiful training facility, fully equipped with 9-run sprung floor, airtrack, and other training equipment
Why All-Girl?
Cheerleading is a sport available to both males and females… so why at Skybound have we chosen to become Adelaide’s first exclusively all-girl gym?
Our chief goal is to create a space for young girls and women to feel safe, included, and empowered. We want them to “find their tribe” among their teammates and to see their confidence grow. We want them to try without fear of failure and celebrate their progressions as a female athlete in the sport. Leadership is encouraged, and strength rewarded.
It is our belief that our best chance of succeeding in providing this to our athletes is for our environment to be focused solely and unapologetically on girls and women.
Our team of staff have knowledge and expertise in all-girl stunting, which is categorically different to coed stunting (which we will openly concede is not our area of expertise). We have years of experience coaching girls and women to acquire new skills and knows that this is what we do best. It is important to us that we can be confident in the service that we provide to you and/or your daughter, and we wear the “all-girl” title proudly.
