The Story Behind Amy's Athletics

​Coach Amy’s journey began in 1997 with nothing more than some grass, a passion for tumbling, and a group of neighborhood kids eager to learn. Without much equipment or a formal space, she taught in her front yard, fueled by heart and hustle.

​

As word spread and her athlete base grew, Amy began traveling to athletes’ homes, offering cheer and tumbling lessons wherever she could. In 2007, she was able to get a dedicated space for athletes to tumble, when she opened her very first gym in the small town of Orange Grove, Texas.

What started as a front-yard hobby turned into something much bigger.

In 2014, Amy moved into a larger gym space. By 2018, she found a new space to move to. And in 2019, Amy’s Athletics found its current (and biggest) home, with plenty of room to train and teach tumbling.

​

In 2017, Amy launched her first official cheer season with just 23 athletes. Today, Amy’s Athletics is home to over 400 athletes, including 100 dedicated cheerleaders and a powerhouse staff of 15+ professional coaches who share the same love for cheer and tumbling as Amy.

At Amy’s Athletics, we believe in more than just the skill...we believe in building confidence, community, and character.

Eyes on the Rise

Eyes on the Rise is more than a motto—it’s a mindset. It means staying focused on growth, not just the next skill or competition, but the journey as a whole. It’s about setting goals, rising to challenges, and always looking ahead with purpose, drive and heart.

We measure success by progress, effort, and how we lift each other up along the way.
