If you've ever walked into the Flight Athletics gym on a weekday evening, you've probably felt it right away.
It's not just the sound of athletes working hard, the music, or the energy on the floor - it's something different.
It's the feeling of belonging, of acceptance, of FAmily, and that's why Flight Athletics exists.
We believe athletes need a space where they feel safe, supported, and pushed to become the best version of themselves, both on and off the mat.
From our youngest athletes taking the mat for the first time, to our Elite teams chasing big goals on the World's stage, every single person who walks through our doors is part of something bigger.
We lead with our values. Everything we do is led by FLIGHT:
FAmily
Leadership
Integrity
Grit
Heart
Teamwork
Cheerleading is growing rapidly throughout Canada and we are proud to be a part of the growth of our sport in Alberta. When we opened in 2017, we were the only Allstar cheerleading program north of Edmonton!
Our gym is run by our owner, Coach Viola, who has been involved in cheerleading since 2005. Viola has competed levels 1-6, coached High School and All-Star levels 1-4 and ages 18 months through to adult. She has 3 years of experience judging and has been nominated for the ACA Judge of the Year award once and the Coach of the Year award 3 times. Coach Viola is also the first credentialed Ninja coach west of Ontario!
Over the last 9 years, our staff has grown and has become a team to be reckoned with! While many of our coaches are home-grown and taught, we are also proud to have coaches who have grown in other gyms and have brought their own unique coaching philosophies to the FAmily. Our coaching staff have a combined over 50 years experience, and no one walks in without saying 'Hi' to our Ambassador of Awesome (AKA Receptionist) and our 'Spirit Queen', Kim!
For the last 5 years we have been attending the largest competitions in both Alberta and Saskatchewan and have earned a reputation of success with an impressive amount of top 3 finishes! Check out all of our competition memorabilia in the background of our social media photos.
In 2020, we had our first Elite team.
In 2022, our Level 3 team, Alpha Jets, travelled internationally to the USA for the first time and placed 2nd.
In 2023, we sent three qualifying teams to the Allstar World Championship in Orlando, Florida! Two of our teams advanced to finals in second and fifth place, with one achieving the highest score of all Canadian teams in attendance.
In 2024, we sent our U12 Level 2 team to the Allstar World Championship on a paid bid!
In 2025, we will be sending three teams to the Allstar World Championship - U12 Level 1 Spitfire, U16 Level 3 F-35 and Open Coed NT Level 4 Mach4.
