Victorious Elite Allstars

I’m very eager to share my review about VEA, but first, I’d like to share a little back-​story on what led us to find this fabulous gym to begin with. My daughter LOVES anything to do with cheer or dance, she loves learning new things, and she definitely loves having the opportunity to showcase all her new talents. When my daughter was old enough (around 2), I began looking for a studio in Manteca that I could enroll her in. We found what I thought, at the time, would be a good fit. We signed her up and she took classes there for over two years. I had many opportunities to watch her perform at her recitals. I was «That Mom». The one who has tears running down her face, while at the same time, grinning from ear-​to-​ear. I was so proud of my baby girl! Unfortunately, our sweet story ends here. Things seemed to be going okay at first, but as time went on, my daughter started to feel withdrawn. I could totally notice the difference in her, she was crying and begging not to go anymore. I’ll spare you all the heartbreaking details that led me to come to this conclusion because I know if you are a mom, you can already understand me when I say, when you see your baby suffer, you suffer right along with her. We were definitely ready for a change! I looked into two new facilities in the Manteca area. I must admit the other one I looked at (a new dance studio in Manteca) was very nice and seemed super eager to enroll her, but from the moment I walked into VEA, I knew this was going to be the place for us. You will not find «glamour shots» of the staff hanging all over their walls, you will see pictures of their current athletes and the accomplishments they have recently made. This place is all about the kids! Being a teacher, I can sometimes be very critical about the way children are treated and what environment they are learning in. This gym has done nothing but amaze me in the short time we have been there. You want to know what this gym does? They encourage, they motivate, they strengthen, they inspire, they energize, they nurture, they praise, and most importantly, they give frequent high-​fives, warm smiles, and so many hugs at each practice, I can’t even count them all. I especially love that there is a parent viewing area which allows me to watch her whole practice, start to finish. VEA was exactly what my young daughter needed all along. She is only 4 and just beginning to realize who she really is and what she is good at. She needs positivity and people that will make her feel important. VEA has done a terrific job of rebuilding my daughter’s confidence and making her feel like an important member of their team. As a mother, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing your daughter feel happy and enthusiastic about going to her practices every week. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a professional, but very «family-​oriented» place for your child. We couldn’t be more happier with VEA. My daughter begs me to go everyday, I’m not kidding! It is so comforting to know that she will grow and be nurtured there, not just physically, but emotionally as well.

VEA is an amazing organization for kids. The coaches are patient, supportive and encouraging. They do not train the athletes with fear or intimidation. My daughter has been cheering for VEA for over 6 years and is lucky to have such amazing role models. She has a second family and has made life long friends. I highly recommend VEA to anyone looking for a competitive cheer organization!

We have been going here for three years now starting on our fourth season. My six year old has learned so much from both the cheer coaches and tumbling coaches. She went from competing in the tiny level with age groups of 3 to five to this year cross competing in the youth level 2 that’s for 11 and under. In most any gym you go to the practices are closed to the parents this keeps the kids focused. We now finished our fourth season with both my daughter’s holding National Titles. Statements written prior are without facts. The tumble track was replaced with a brand new one. Its one mans story and its just that a story. So if your looking for a great cheer gym with lots of fun and a family atmosphere look no further.

This place is not what it seems. Great place for tiny kids. Mandi Kendra tim and Kelsey are great. Rest beware. A lot of gossip between other staff. There is some staff not apart of the coaching that really care for the place that this is not intended for and are caught in the middle. Beware of coaches spending the whole time sitting against wall and texting instead of teaching. Beware of the made up fire inspection to try and make a closed gym so that parents can’t record the coaches doing this. (Fire Marshall himself said this never happened). If you join get ready for zero orginazation and everything last minute. Here’s the big kicker the non-​profit claim sorry show a 990 wait sorry IRS revoked your status due to 3 consecutive years of not filing. See or yourself a
. or
. Wheres the money. I know where it went the her boyfriends gym that he opened and put the vea name in front of it bet all the parents and cheerleaders who raised all that money would like to know that. And all the fans that disappeared that the girls used to keep cool in the summer those went there also See for yourself (
) Broken equipment. Broken mirrors. Over a year and no fix. Oh ya order a uniform get ready price changes daily. To bad there is a gym out there like this who asks you volunteer for things your help them out you get used and you decide to leave and they start slandering your name in emails to other parents that are leaving the gym and then claim they never happen. Well we have the emails.
