UP Elite Cheer

Up Elite started with a vision rooted in heart, growth, and the belief that every athlete deserves to feel confident and capable.

As a Middle School All Star Rec Cheer Team, our focus goes beyond the mat. We are building a program grounded in strong values, positive coaching, and meaningful team experiences.

Our team is a hand-selected group of athletes chosen for their work ethic, coachability, and heart.

This first season is invitation-only as we build a strong, aligned foundation for the future of Up Elite.

Dear Families and Athletes,

When my daughter was a baby, I had the opportunity to coach at a local middle school and from that moment on, a dream quietly took root. I always hoped that one day, I’d get the chance to coach her and share with her the same love for cheer that has meant so much to me.

UP Elite was created from that dream.

My goal is to provide a small group of Michigan middle school cheerleaders with a safe, supportive place to grow not just as athletes, but as individuals. We will follow the Open Championship Series and compete as an Allstar Rec Cheer Team throughout the Midwest, focusing on teamwork, confidence, and positive experiences.

Many of our first year teammates will come from our Great Beginnings program, and it’s incredibly special to continue that journey with them. Being able to expand the Great Beginnings family through UP Elite is something I’m truly honored to do.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

- Katie
