The cheer squad have gone from competing a two minute and 30 second routine filled with high intensity stunting, building pyramids, synchronized tumbling and dance to staying 10 feet apart at all times and competing virtually through online classes.

“Our goal is to keep a positive and safe space for kids to develop their individual skills and build their confidence while learning the sport of cheer,” McMillan explained. “In our world of unknowns there is one constant, these kids love of cheer.”

Infinity Cheer Elite began in 2017 when McMillan opened the program with cheerleading coach and longtime friend Katie Vleeming for competitive and recreational athletes.
