ALSTARZ Cheerleading Academy, Inc (ACA) was established in 2001 in Larose, LA. The company was established as a part-time business to help young athletes in the community to learn, and/or improve their cheerleading and tumbling skills and to prepare them to try out for their school cheerleading teams. The part-time business soon evolved into a full-time business when home school students, private lessons, and more competitive teams became a demand.

In 2017, ACA expanded and opened a second location in Thibodaux, LA. ACA2 was born and is now building relationships with school teams including Nicholls State University. After Hurricane Ida, our Larose gym shut down for good. Our ACA family is growing in Thibodaux and we are truly blessed and excited for the new journey.
Our Purpose And Mission
It is our mission at ALSTARZ Cheerleading Academy to provide an environment that is safe both physically and spiritually. We strive to provide a place where young athletes can learn the skills of cheerleading and tumbling and a strong work ethic that will take them well beyond this sport. We strive to build character and instill a sense of confidence that will take the athlete to a new level within their own lives and lead them to be grounded young adults. ALSTARZ is not only our business, it is our MINISTRY. “ALSTARZ, where you learn more than just a skill”
It is our goal for our athletes to challenge themselves to progress in their skill level from the beginning to the end of each season or session as well as for teams and classes to support one another on and off the performance mat. We want to grant athletes the opportunity to travel across our state and our nation not only to showcase their skills but to give them a culturally diverse experience of the world in which we live.
