About Puma Cheer
Who We Are
A cheer family in Watauga, Texas built on confidence, safety, and a culture every athlete actually wants to be part of.
A gym built to feel like family.
Puma Cheer was built around one simple belief: every athlete deserves to be coached with patience, purpose, and genuine care — whether they're stepping on a mat for the first time or chasing an Elite-level routine.
We're a competitive all-star cheer and tumbling gym in Watauga, serving families across Fort Worth, North Richland Hills, Hurst, and the surrounding DFW area. Our goal has never just been cheer skills — it's changing the lives of the athletes, parents, and coaches who become part of our gym, in a positive, confidence-building way.
We don't chase trophies at the expense of culture. We protect a no-drama, no-mean-girls environment every single day, and we mean it when we say every skill level is welcome here — not just the kids who are already advanced.
Puma Cheer, By The Numbers
Perfection before progression.
It's the simple rule behind everything we teach. No athlete moves to a new skill until they've truly mastered the one in front of them. That's not us holding anyone back — it's how we keep kids safe and build confidence that actually lasts.
Our coaches are trained to spot the moment an athlete is ready — and to celebrate the small wins that make the big ones possible. Every step forward is earned, and every athlete knows it.
PAIN IS TEMPORARY.
PRIDE IS FOREVER.
These words are written on our gym wall — not by us, but by our athletes. That's what Puma Cheer is about. The mindset lives here before it ever shows up on the competition floor.

What We Stand For
Beyond the routines and the trophies, here's what actually drives how we coach.
WE PROTECT A NO-DRAMA CULTURE.
A no-mean-girls policy isn't a poster on the wall here — it's something we actively enforce every single practice. Parents notice it almost immediately: there's no cliques, no favoritism, no politics. Just kids supporting kids, regardless of skill level.

WE COACH THE WHOLE CHILD, NOT JUST THE SKILL.
Confidence, teamwork, leadership, grit — these are the things that actually follow an athlete home. We've had parents tell us their daughter's coach taught her more about who she wants to be than any single tumbling pass ever could. That's the whole point.

EVERY SKILL LEVEL IS GENUINELY WELCOME.
We don't just say beginners are welcome — we build our entire program around it. A first-timer with zero experience gets the same energy, patience, and encouragement as our most advanced athlete. Nobody gets coached like an afterthought here.

WE'D RATHER BE HONEST THAN IMPRESSIVE.
We're upfront about cost, upfront about what to expect at evaluations, and upfront when an athlete needs more time on a skill before moving forward. We'd rather earn your trust over years than win you over with a sales pitch.
