"Ava joined Cali with very little tumbling skills. Over the past few years she has advanced those skills due the wonderful coaches there. But more importantly, Ava has gained leadership skills, confidence, how to work within a team and build success out of hard work and determination. This by far is what I’m most grateful for. Cali - you truly build these talented athletes to become functioning people with real people skills that will take them further then there time in cheer. "
Thank you,

"So incredibly thankful to participate in a program that has hand-picked and screened each and every coach for their skill, experience, love for the sport and most of all, genuine commitment to train well-rounded athletes. Hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship are not just a saying at California All Stars, it's a culture and their key to success. My daughter has been immersed in a loving, family and faith-based training program that truly recognizes each cheerleader as an individual. She has grown exponentially as an athlete and performer in just one season and has demonstrated effort and confidence like I've never seen before. Love this program! Everything revolves around your athlete; winning is the side effect."

"My oldest daughter cheered for 3 years before coming to Cali Bay Area. We were not prepared for what this gym had in store for our family. She overcame so many obstacles and each time she learns something new, it feels like that first day all over again.
Cali has been more than an “extracurricular activity”. It’s a lifestyle to your soul. There are good days and bad days and those days in between where your heart is so full that, as you write this testimony, you tear up and remember that your kids adore the coaches, staff, parents, and athletes...like one big giant family.
I can honestly say, with every ounce of my soul, that this was the best decision for our family. Technique, discipline, empathy, graciousness, and all around love is what Cali Bay Area means to me."

"E’mon came to Cali Allstars in 2016. She was insecure about her skills and wasn’t sure she had what it took to remain competitive on the team. She initially started out on J2 crew and a month later was asked to be a member on the Young Gunz team. E’mon learned how to do a back tuck in 2015, however, she was inconsistent in throwing it and doubted her own abilities! After taking privates with different coaches and having special pep talks with Coach Makeda, I noticed a positive change. She grew as a leader on her team and her skills increased tremendously! Her back tuck is tighter and consistent, her jumps are higher and her self-esteem is not to be questioned. I see the fire in her eyes now when she competes and her competitive spirit is unparalleled! She’s made some serious strides athletically; not to mention those awesome abs! E’mon has met great friends at Cali as well. I owe it all to the great coaching staff and most of all, Coach Makeda!"
Thanks a bunch California All-Stars!!!

“CA has not only impacted my life as an athlete, but has made an impact on who I am as a person. The athletes and coaches at the gym are so amazing and help you in every way, and I have improved so much since I came to CA two years ago. I don’t think I would ever be where I am now without the help of my great coaches and teammates. CA is one big family, no matter what teams you are on you are welcomed into the CA family. I have not been the same person since I joined CA and it was an amazing decision!”
