Tri County Elite Cheer & Dance

My daughter decided to try cheer in the midst if COVID. Even with all the challenges of the pandemic, ie changes and cancellations, we had a very enjoyable first season. We are now finishing up season 3 and Gigi and the coaches are like family. Everyone that works at TCE volunteers their time to try and keep things running as smoothly as possible. They do this because they love to Coach and see these kids reach their potential. The younger athletes this year have been very resilient and adapted to the multiple changes needed to cover for athlete's that were injured, sickness, and no shows.

At the beginning of each season parents are given a breakdown of fees for everything and as long as you read the documents completely you will be prepared for expenses. This is not a cheap sport by any means, but costs are kept down by Gigi, the Coaches, and some parents who all volunteer their time while also working full time jobs. Our travel distances are kept to a minimum which helps as well.

TCE is like an extended family and the athlete's make lifelong friends. I have gained additional kids I love like my own and my daughter has several bonus mom's and brothers and sisters.

This is my daughter's 3rd season with TCE and I can't see us being anywhere else! This is the 25th Year in business. Coach Gigi absolutely loves each and every athlete here, past and present. It feels like family here.

Nothing and no one is ever perfect. Yes there has been some rough times but that's expected. Those of you who are being negative are probably the reason for the trouble. Every business will have a rough patch and the only way to get over that is to work together and be positive. If a mishap happens, don't start pointing fingers, help solve it. Not start drama and make it worse. This will be my 7th year cheering at TCE and I can honestly say I wouldn't trade those years for anything. I have met my very best friend here and now her and her family are like my second family. You wouldn't believe how much the staff and SOME cheerleaders have helped me through the years. When people are stressed, they may let their emotions get the best of them. No one's life revolves around the gym. Be considerate of feelings. And as far as attitudes, don't get them. And parents, teach your kids manners and don't be a bad influence. Don't stand around the gym gossiping about others and smoking in front of others. THAT is what gives us a bad name. So instead of complaining about how things are, help change it by putting in work such as helping with some fundraisers and help keep things organized. Instead of making the problem worse, be the bigger person and change things. Don't runway from problems and DONT go around spreading rumors like teenagers.

I just want to say that my daughter cheers for TCE and I am very happy with the progress she is making! They have new coaches that are wonderful. I think that every time shes not at the gym she wishes she was there lol. I would recommend TCE to everyone! The things this program does for the community is outstanding! They adopt a needy family every year, this weekend coming up there is a cheer clinic with all proceeds going to the crossing guard that was hit by Sangaree Elementary School, and there is much more planned for the rest of the year. If you are looking for a cheer or hip hop dance gym then look no further! Call TCE your home you will not be disappointed.

My sister cheers for Tricounty Elite and I will have to say I am very impressed at what little kids can learn and so quickly! I am a lot older than my sister and I am very proud of what she has learned and accomplished. Please give this gym a try I am sure you will be impressed!

I am a cheerleader for TCE. I just want to say that cheering at TCE is wonderful!!! There are new coaches there and things run a lot differently then some of these reviews say!!!! I wouldn't go anywhere else but TCE!!! the coaches make it fun from the little guys and girls all the way up to us big "kids"!! It is a lot of hard work so don't think you can come and sit and learn stuff you actually have to learn in a fun atmosphere.

I am appauld at some of the reviews that I read concerning Tricounty Elite Cheer and Dance. I guess if you don't get what you want from a place the easiest thing to do is write a bad review!!!! I have nothing but the upmost respect for this gym! Not only are there wonderful parents and coaches at this gym the owner Gigi would do anything for the kids there!!! If you are really wanting your child or children to start cheering whether it be competitve or just to learn the basics come check them out!!!! There are tons of different cheer levels at TCE so don't think your child is not ready they are ready if they want to cheer. Any age is always welcome there and parents are always invited to watch. I really enjoy the friends and families I have met there.

I am so glad to call myself a cheer mom for Tricounty Elite. I have been to a couple other cheer gyms in the area and I was made to feel like an outcast. I didn't drive the best car, didn't live in the biggest house, and I was unhappy!!! After my daughters first week at TriCounty Elite I knew I was at home!!! She was not upset about having to go to practice she actually looks forward to practice. We as a family would not go any where else now!!! I am so happy to have found Tricounty Elite.

I am a father of a cheerleader at Tricounty Elite. With me being a male i was kind of skeptically of going to a cheer gym. After going with my wife several times I love going! I have watched my daughter and her friends learn so much and I can't believe how well organized things are. She practices 2 times a week that is a set schedule. The week of a competition they do throw in a couple of more practices to allow them to practice. I really enjoy Tri county Elite and I am so glad my wife made the decision to take our daughter there!!!

I have read several of the negative reviews regarding TCE and I have found them very untrue!!!!! My daughter is a cheerleader at TCE and we are very happy with the gym, the coaches, and Gigi Pieretti. My daughter would rather spend all her free time at the gym then at home in front of the television. Mrs. Gigi makes it fun for the children in a learning atmosphere. My daughter is 8 years old and a very shy child and she has come out of her shell being at this gym. All the cheerleaders, dancers, tumblers, coaches, and parents are all very friendly and accepting. When we started the gym my daughter felt very at ease and comfortable with everyone. All the girls took right to her and showed her the ropes. I am very happy with Tri County Elite and I really look forward to many, many, many more years with TCE!

I love TCE!!!!!!! My daughter has been going to TCE since January 2012 and she absolutely loves it!! She is 7 years old and when she started TCE she could do a round off and a cartwheel. Within 1 month she could do a front walkover and a back walkover. Then one month later she was doing a standing back handspring and a roundoff back handspring. They offer tumbling classes for different skill levels along with hip hop dance classes for different ages. They offer recreational competitive cheerleading along with all star cheerleading. Also to help with your cost there is the option of working at the coliseum. Working 2 or 3 events a month will generally cover your monthly fee if you want to work an event. I have been very satisfied with the staff and with the owners at TCE. So if you are looking for a family oriented, family run, fun place to take some classes, please give TCE a try!!! You will not be disappointed! I am so glad I took advantage of the free trial class now we have a second family at TCE!!!!

DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THIS ORGANIZATION OR ITS OWNERS!!! IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT THE AREA GYMS BE CHECKED INTO BEFORE MAKING A DECISION!!! iF YOU DO CHOOSE TO GO WITH TCE....MAKE SURE YOU KEEP EXCELLENT RECORDS...BECAUSE THEY DON'T!!
