My daughter went for her first class today, and my mother in law was told no parents are allowed to stay. She was asked to leave and come back when class is over. This is a new business to town, and we do not know the coaches. I am appalled that any new business would expect parents to leave a 6 year old alone with complete strangers. We will never be back, and I highly do not recommend this place to anyone else who worries about their safety of their children.

Best of the best!! I’m not sure what all the bad reviews are about. We absolutely love and adore all the staff at Champion Force. Very well organized with just the right amount of competitiveness without overdoing it. Both of my daughters confidence has increased greatly since starting here and even do better in school. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place.

My daughters cheer for another Champion Force location. We had stunt clinic this past weekend and it was great! If anyone does cheerleading, dancing, gymnastics, etc competitively, then they would know it is very common for parents or spectators to not be allowed to watch practice. It distracts the students from learning and focusing on their coaches and tasks at hand. Our local coaches (Lexington) are great and the staff at Champion Force in Knoxville were fabulous too. They were well organized and communicated well with all the parents. Coaches and helpers were great at taking many photos and videos to help give parents "sneak peaks" at what their children were working on. Champion Force knows all the proper rules and protocol regarding competitive cheerleading and are doing a great job at preparing their cheerleaders. My girls had fun, learned a lot, and made new friends. We were very pleased with the overall experience!

My 4 year old daughter was discriminated against because she has epilepsy. I was told she couldn’t compete after the 2nd Practice. And corporate office just told me maybe the coach was scared that my daughter might have a seizure on competition day.

We did a trial class. There were over 30 kids and only 2-3 coaches. Parents aren’t allowed to watch, so we weren’t able to form much of an opinion on specifics of coaching. Small gym, not much equipment.

My 4 year old God daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy in June of 2022. When this happened everything she loved doing had to come to a stop! After finally getting her epilepsy under control she was released to go back to doing what she loved! When we saw this competition cheer team took 4 year olds it was perfect, and she was so excited! 2 practices in and she was doing great learning new jumps all, but unfortunately after practice we were told she couldn’t compete because of her attention span! We knew this wasn’t the case because of how much she learned in the 45 minute practices! After talking to corporate office we came to the conclusion that it was because she had epilepsy. They have nothing in there policy stating that you cant compete if you have epilepsy, cooperate office gave us no answers. Just took up for there coach by saying she was scared she may have a seizure! Shame on Champion Force Athletics!

My 4 year old niece was discriminated against because she has epilepsy. I was told she couldn’t compete after the 2nd Practice. And corporate office just told me maybe the coach was scared that my daughter might have a seizure on competition day. What a sad excuse for a company. No “professional “ coach (Jenny) should ever make a child feel different or sad because of a uncontrolled condition. I feel if her doctor cleared her to participate in any and all sport activities, ( although they never asked for any paperwork) why is there an issue? When asked, the corporate office replied with “ maybe Jenny didn’t want anybody to be hurt on competition day if she was to have a seizure. As her aunt Do you think if anyone was in danger we would have let her participate. I mean really think about this. But the crazy part of it all is that Jenny said on day 2 of practice, when she dismissed my niece is that is was her age and she basically can’t keep up with the other children. And so now today is because of her condition, which I already knew. So basically to wrap this up if you’re child have a condition don’t even bother to use this company. This is really unbelievable!!
