Welcome to the
Tumbling & Cheerleading Academy (TCA)!
TCA is known as the best tumbling gym on the south side of Chicago for training school and recreational cheerleaders. We specialize in tumbling EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHEERLEADING and invite you to experience our facility!
TCA has been in business for seven years, of which four years have been in our premier facility. We are a family-owned and operated business, and are extremely dedicated to our athletes.
TCA boasts a highly-qualified staff and a variety of classes to fit every cheerleader's needs. Our coaches are qualified to teach your children in a professional and safe manner. We take time to teach our students correct and safe techniques. With a low 5-1 student-coach ratio, our classes allow for more floor time for athletes per class.
Our 8,000 square foot facility is fully AIR-CONDITIONED and HEATED. We are proud that our facility houses a full-size national competition spring floor AND a flat cheer floor to meet the needs of all school and recreational cheerleaders and their teams. Tumbling mats, an air track, tumble track, tumbling pit, and trampoline are in ground for added saftey. In addition, we are known for our innovative running belt system. This belt aids students with learning proper technique and to accelerate skill acquisition.
TCA offers private squad tumbling classes customized for your whole team or general group classes, as well as private lessons. Our general group classes are skill-based classes, so we invite you to come in for an evaluation. Beginner classes work on skills and techniques for back handsprings. Visit our "Classes" page for more detailed information.
TCA instructs more school and recreational squads than any other facility!
We invite you to be a part of a gym where your cheerleaders/athletes get results. The most successful cheerleading teams in our area expect and/or require their cheerleaders to tumble year-round. Each cheerleading team in our area differs in what tumbling skills are required for their teams and TCA offers many classes and highly-qualified independent instructors to meet every cheerleader's needs. Once you experience TCA, you won't go anywhere else!

TCA'S PROFESSIONAL FACILITY: We use the latest technology with our 40' running twisting belt system. The ONLY running belt system on the south side of Chicago. This system builds confidence which is a key element to skill progression. TCA was the first in the area to build a fully-equipped tumbling gym geared specifically to cheerleading.
Success is in our independent coaching staff.
Over 23 years of combined independent coaching experience.
