Drake Athletics

09/09/2026

Two years ago, Drake Athletics held its very first tryout.

Today, we officially begin YEAR THREE!

It’s incredible to look back at what has been built in such a short time. In two years, Drake Athletics has earned bids, won titles, traveled across the country, competed on some incredible stages, opened the doors to The Den, expanded our programs, welcomed countless athletes and families, and watched our kids accomplish things they once thought were impossible.

But our biggest accomplishment is the community we’ve built along the way.

Drake Athletics is a place to be challenged, build confidence, find your people, dream bigger, and discover just how much you’re capable of.

And we’re still growing.

New athletes. New goals. New opportunities. New memories waiting to be made.

Two years down, and YEAR THREE is just getting started.

We can’t wait to see who becomes part of the story next.

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Drake Athletics.

DO IT LIKE DRAKE.

🖤 Ages 5–16
❤️ Weekly practices
🖤 Two local competitions in Lansing
❤️ Confidence, friendships & new skills
🖤 A fun introduction to competitive cheer

We have two teams this season:

What an incredible night for Drake Athletics!

A huge thank you to the TC Pit Spitters for inviting our athletes to perform during last night’s game. We were honored to be a part of such a fun community event!

From our youngest rec athletes to our elite travel teams, every athlete represented Drake Athletics with pride, energy, and heart. We couldn’t be more proud of the way they performed and supported one another throughout the evening.

It was also the perfect opportunity to debut our brand-new practice wear sets by Glitterstarz, and our athletes looked amazing! Thank you for helping our teams look as confident and polished as they performed.

Thank you to our families for your continued support and to everyone who cheered our athletes on. Opportunities like these create memories that will last a lifetime.

We had an amazing time and can’t wait to do it again! 💙🐉

ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!

This is your last chance to grab our Early Bird Rate of just $125 for the Athlete Development Camp!

⏰ Early Bird pricing ends TOMORROW (June 14th)!

After that, the price jumps to $175.

This camp is intentionally kept small (only 20 athletes) so every athlete gets personalized coaching, individual feedback, and a development plan focused on them.

If your athlete wants to:
✨ Improve faster
✨ Build stronger jumps, motions, and tumbling
✨ Gain confidence and body awareness
✨ Get individual attention that isn’t possible in a large team setting

…this is the camp for them.

Don’t be the family wishing you had signed up when you see the progress everyone is posting in July. 🔥🐉

🔥 NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION! 🔥

The Unleash the Fire Athlete Development Camp is officially open, and spots are already expected to go quickly!

This camp is different from a traditional cheer camp. It is designed for athletes who want to focus on their own individual growth, goals, and development in a small-group environment where personalized coaching is the priority.

✨ Only 20 spots available!

Over four days, athletes will learn:
🔥 Drills they can use for years to continue improving
🔥 Conditioning techniques that build strength and power
🔥 Jump training and body control
🔥 Motion precision and performance quality
🔥 Tumbling progressions tailored to their level
🔥 Goal-setting strategies that help athletes stay accountable and motivated

This is the perfect opportunity to spend time working on you—your skills, your confidence, and your future as an athlete.

The work you put in this summer will show up in every practice, every performance, and every time you step onto the floor next season.

📅 July 13–16
