Lightning Elite Cheer is Unique. . . a Message from the Director
The one and only Elite Cheerleading program in the Moscow/Pullman and Lewis/Clark area.
Until Lightning Elite, there were no opportunities in the Moscow/Pullman and Lewis/Clark area for athletes that wanted to stretch the limits of their skills in cheerleading, compete in an Elite Cheer environment (versus Rec, Novice, Prep or School) year round, and work hard with a modern athletic team dedicated to cheerleading as a competitive sport. Our Goal is to offer athletes the cutting edge competitive experience they crave. Lightning has cultivated an atmosphere of fun while creating serious athletes in competitive cheer. Our Elite teams are known for amazing routines that are fun to watch and visually appealing. We have also created an "Elite Dream Team" with cheerleaders from many high schools in the area to represent the area's Elite Cheer Athletes! Our teams are regularly made up of athletes from Deary, Moscow, Pullman, Potlatch, Lewiston, Clarkston, Asotin, Genesee, and now Grangeville! With specialty coaches, local sponsors, and a fully supportive panel of parents, Lightning is pleased to represent the area as THE Elite competitive cheer program.
Since spring 2015 when we began, we have earned 13 Grand Champion titles, 1st Place in Show Routine 33 times, Sr. Stunt Group AND Sr. and Jr. Individuals 1st place each year, we consistently win and place in all jump categories every year. We are proud of our accomplishments as it comes from hard work from the athletes & coaches... and the PARENTS. Watch a winning competition routine here!
We have sparkly and unique uniforms, custom original cheer music for each of our teams. We love competitive cheerleading and believe it is the best sport around! But to be clear, this is a competitive team. We focus equally on Athleticism, Teamwork, and Leadership. We have competitions at almost every practice, from handstand to jumps. In a warm, supportive and good-natured environment, all athletes can thrive. Every athlete on the team knows who is the best jumper (and 2nd and 3rd) but also who has their splits, the cleanest cartwheel, the kindest comments, the most supportive, most organized, and who can base or backspot the best. Every athlete knows which skills their friends are working on and every athlete has their own goals. Every athlete brings their own value to the team and we celebrate that.
Finally, a big thank you to the parents and siblings of our hard-working athletes. We appreciate your support and know you are committed to our success!
Go Lightning!
