If your daughter just can’t get enough of the gym, or loves competing in meets like the Turkey Trot or Bunny Hop, then Rec Team is the PERFECT fit!
The Rec Team consists of level 2, 3, and 4 gymnasts. The girls work out together as a team for 6-7 hours a week-building teamwork, discipline, and becoming best friends! Your daughter will learn the entire realm of gymnastics skills; from dance to tumbling on the floor, vault, bars and beam. The gymnasts will learn routines and use them while competing in roughly 6 local meets, both as a team and individually. And they get to wear a Diamond competitive leotard and warm-up!
Come to tryouts to see if Rec Team is a good fit for your daughter. During tryouts, the girls will work out with current team members, including warm-up and conditioning during all four events!
Tryouts are Thursday, March 22nd from 4:00-7:30. and Saturday, March 24th from 11:00-2:30.
For more information about the Diamond Academy Rec Team, or to sign up for tryouts, please call Diamond Academy at (913) 851-7500.
Rec Team During the National Anthem
Want to see the Rec Team in action? Diamond Academy is hosting the Kansas City Girls League Championships March 9th - 11th. Come and cheer on our Diamond family and see what we're all about!
Competitive Cheer is...
A fast-paced, hybrid combination of stunting, tumbling, jumping, and dancing compacted into a 2 minute 30 second routine. There is no cheering for other teams here, we
are the sport! We live to compete.
Competitive Cheer is available to boys and girls ages 3-18. Our athletes are placed onto teams based on their skill level, which can range from Level 1 Intro to Level 5 Advanced. We teach skills from cartwheels to double fulls; there is a spot for everyone!
Diamond Cheer is a fairly new program in Overland Park, currently competing in its 3rd season. Don't let the newness fool you, we have made a huge impact and created a name for ourselves in the local competitive cheerleading market. Diamond Cheer has doubled in size each year of it's existence, and currently has teams and athletes ages 3-18 levels 1-5.
Our 2011-2012 Competitive Teams:
Tiny Level 1 - Ages 3-5
Mini Level 1 - Ages 6-8
Youth Level 1 - Ages 9-11
Junior Level 4 - Ages 9-14
Senior Level 2 - Ages 8-16
All of our teams only practice 2 days a week, which allows our athletes to gain experiences with other sports and school activities. Team practices include tumbling class, which are taught by a competitive gymnastics coach, ensuring that your child will learn the proper and safe techniques of tumbling. Our teams mostly compete locally, lessening the commitment for the child and their family.
