This section is in list format but may read better as prose. (July 2021) |
1994-1995
Cheer Athletics began in May 1994 when co-founders Jody Melton and Angela Rogers began their first practice with 2 athletes at a local park in Plano, TX.
1995-1996
The 1995-96 season brought many new challenges. Cheer Athletics had more than tripled in size since nationals, with 3 main teams: Panthers, Tigers, Jags. CA now had a total of 58 athletes and was tasting its first success at local and regional competitions.
1996-1997
The gym had now grown to have 5 teams: Cats, Jags, Tigers, Panthers, and Wildcats. Cheer Athletics debuted at the 1997 NCA All-Star Nationals.
1997-1998
Cheer Athletics had become the largest program in the country with 8 teams: Cats, Jags, Tigers, Sabres, Cougars, Panthers, Wildcats, and Cheetahs. By the spring of 1998, Cheer Athletics moved into its own practice facility; a former baseball training center just down the street from NCA's main offices.
1998-1999
As Cheer Athletics expanded, there were now 13 teams in the CA Family: KittyKats, Cats, Jags, Bengals, Bobcats, Tigers, Thundercats, Sabres, Bearcats, Panthers, Pumas, Wildcats, and Cheetahs. Interested in this up-and-coming program, the New York Times Production Company sent a film crew to feature two Cheer Athletics teams in a documentary, "On the Inside: Cheerleading" which aired the Discovery Channel.
1999-2000
Through continued hard work by athletes and coaches, Cheer Athletics had claimed over 30 team titles by the conclusion of the 1999-2000 season.
2000-2001
The 2000-2001 season brought their team national championship total to 53.
2001-2002
During the 2001/2002 season, the gym won more national titles than any other program has ever won in a single year, bringing home a staggering 33 team national championship titles during this single season, bringing their overall total to 86.
2002-2003
An amazing season with 30 national championship titles brought the overall title count to 116.

Controversy[]
In September 2020, Jerry Harris, an American cheerleader featured on the Netflix documentary series Cheer, was arrested on suspicion of sexual misconduct and child pornography.[12][13][14][15][16][13] Cheer Athletics founder Angela Rogers is accused in a lawsuit alongside multiple other entities of tipping off Harris to an investigation by the FBI and negligence surrounding their handling of allegations of Harris' behavior that could have prevented the sexual misconduct and protected students and participants.
Cheer Athletics and Angela Rogers have come under further scrutiny following the uncovering of several public contacts made between Harris and Rogers in May 2020 after Rogers had claimed that she and Cheer Athletics had ceased involvement with Harris as of March 1, 2020. In July 2020, Cheer Athletics posted a photo of Harris to their Instagram account celebrating six Emmy Nominations for the Cheer series. The matter is still pending in court and Rogers maintains a stance of uninvolvement.[12][13][14][15][16][13]
