Fly High Cheer and Tumble, LLC | Application Preview
Fly High Cheer and Tumble, LLC, leads by Andrea and David Caswell, seeks government grants to address financial challenges arising from demographic shifts and effects of job losses among families in the community. The program, serving 286 athletes and competing in the tristate area, aims to enhance its offerings amid rising operational costs, including instructor travel and utility expenses.
The business highlights its extensive coaching experience, driven by values of integrity, service, and excellence. Andrea has a rich background in cheerleading, having volunteered and coached at various levels for over 20 years and most recently serving as the head coach for the Italian National Team in 2018.

The owners are committed to fostering a nurturing environment that prioritizes both quality instruction and personal development.

Funding Usage
Fly High Cheer and Tumble struggled financially due to the demographics and families unwilling to fulfill their season in competitive cheer because of a job loss.

We are a program of 286 athletes competing with gyms in the tristate area that have been in business for 15-25 years, lack space for practice, and need equipment for better production skills.
