My daughter loves all-star cheer at Island Elite! I cheered in high school and college, so…read morebasically I get to live my best life watching my 8-year old enjoy my favorite sport of all time! We're currently in our second year of cheer and she almost has her back handspring and is learning to be a flyer on their junior team. I love picking her up from cheerleading and hearing her excitedly tell us all about her practice time. Pros: -Top level, quality instruction. I WISH I could have gone to this cheer gym when I was in high school. They're really stringent about technique and won't allow you to progress onto a new skill until you have foundational skills in place. Tumbling this year has been split by skill level so there's more time to practice and improve. Coaches expect a lot out of the teams but I believe they're always fair and I'm really happy they're not easy during practice. -The teams are awesome and they really improve exponentially from the start to the end of the season. Last year our daughter wasn't on a travel team and I'm really looking forward to seeing her compete at a national competition. It's not only improved her physical skills as an athlete, but it's given her a different level of confidence that can only be gained through hard work and tenacity. -Island Elite is located in town. There are other all-star gyms but I don't want to have to fight through traffic to get there. Cons: -Cheer is not a cheap sport like soccer, and monthly tuition for all-star cheer is $200+ a month for three practices a week, plus $30-$60 for tumbling classes. I still totally think it's worth it because you're committing to being the best! In addition to your monthly practice tuition you'll also spend $1000+ on cheer uniforms, choreography and approximately $100-$200 on each competition your team competes in. Currently the all-star teams compete in two local competitions and 1-2 mainland competitions in the Spring. If traveling for cheer is not something you want to do, they also have cheer teams which practice once a week and only do local competitions. I think this is a good alternative if you're unsure of the time and financial commitment. The gym also offer opportunities to fundraise throughout the year. -During our first year of cheer I didn't always feel as though communication was the best, but now that we're on our second year I feel as though we are a lot better equipped in terms of what to expect and what questions to ask. -Island Elite is located in a warehouse that shares the same parking lot as Costco Iwilei. Unfortunately the practice gym is not air conditioned so it gets really hot especially during the Summer months.

Everything is brand new & we love the waiting area. The waiting area has AC, flat screen tv, free wifi, a study hall room where kids can do homework & a kids play area.

The only down side to the facility is the parking. Come early or find street parking.

Initially I heard of this from a Yelp event that I didn't end up going but I ended up signing up anyway! Thanks to Yelp and the CM for introducing this fun activity to some Yelp elites. Coach Javier and other coaches / assistant coaches are amazing! They're all very engaging and fun, and funny lol. I very much enjoy watching my son with the other chickenheads running around on the field! #iykyk I can't verify but another mom told me the coach and some if not all assistants are professional soccer players, so it's not like they just grab a random college kid and put them to coaching. We meet every Saturday at the Ma'ema'e school. There's another location toward east near Aina Haina. It's a nice big field that has occasional short showers but it's never heavy heavy rain, at least so far in the season. It's our first time so initially we didn't extend the season with the extra 5 lessons into December. But after seeing how our son enjoys it tremendously, extending is a no brainer! Good job coaches! The kids are happy to have you!

They treat all the kids fairly with no one getting left out. They encourage everyone to participate and if a child's attention is diverted from the activity then the coach calls the child by name and pulls them back in. Small colorful cones are set up to learn ball control. Larger nets are positioned for kids to kick the balls into. Coach creates fun games which are challenging but with a sense of lightness. The head coaches are clearly professionals and knowledgeable about the sport. At the end each child is gifted a small treat which makes it even better to top off a fun workout.

After 3 meetings with coach Mo saying players were going to be moved around and learn all the positions, our son has never done anything more. The club was the one who moved us to Gold, the competitive team. Having had years of national and international play, coaching and refereeing experience. I have been completely ignored in our concerns and now lied to face to face multiple times. Though having the appearance of a quality experienced staff, in 2 seasons we've seen zero quality in growth, technicality, knowledge of the game, passing, strategy, set pieces, positions and I go on. They glorify the individual selfish play of individual's. I highly recommend looking elsewhere, now having played these other clubs, Albion, Rush, etc...you'll be better off.

Though we liked coming here at first, things deteriorated quickly…read more From instructors being stoned while teaching/coaching to an inability to communicate with parents except via email and not in person or on the phone to ridiculous make up and refund policies that encourage parents to bring sick keiki to camp and weekly classes. Likewise, I tried cancelling multiple times as they had a 30-day cancel policy only to be told I hadn't cancelled. Now I realize that its because so many parents before me have been unhappy hence their need to make so many one-sided policies. If they provided a good service they wouldn't need to entrap you or your kids, because they would have enough new students looking to enroll. As they said themselves "If you're unhappy with our policies, there's several other gyms on island you could check out to see if their policies better align with your needs." Better to go elsewhere. Parents beware. -- Response to their response: 5 missed classes and trying to placate me by offering me classes I don't want because of said coach, when I all I asked for was one parents night out in exchange. Your staff all clearly know who is stoned; all the keiki even know. Finally, holding a space for 3-5 months try more like 3-5 weeks. Again, this could have been a better dialogue in person or over the phone, but instead it was via email and now they are dishing over yelp. Like I said before better go elsewhere, parents beware.

My toddler attended the 2.5-year-old (youngest) class for about seven sessions. By the fourth…read moreclass, she was already telling me she was bored and wanted to go home. Each session begins with a short two-minute warm-up song--usually "Freeze Dance" from YouTube--after which the class shifts to free play with parent supervision. The setup includes a platform to jump into a foam pit, a long trampoline, large foam blocks to climb and slide on, and occasionally a child-height balance beam or bar. There's also plenty of open mat space for rolling, running, and general movement. The coach mostly walks around saying hello to parents, but unfortunately doesn't interact much with the kids. I understand that it's a tough age--two-year-olds don't follow directions well--so I get that the class leans heavily on open play. Still, it feels like something's missing. The right coach with the right energy can really engage kids at this age, but I felt like I had to be that energy just to keep my daughter even slightly interested. This is a good short-term class--maybe for a month--if you just need something for your kiddo to do. But in my experience, most kids in our class started losing interest by the 20-minute mark. I've heard the 3-year-old class is more structured, so I may give that a try instead. They do offer one free trial class, so definitely take advantage of that!

The coaches really kept the kids moving which is something my very active keiki needs. Likewise, the keiki always had the option to take a break in the shade, as needed, but most of them wanted to continue playing even during lunchtime. Ah, the exuberance of youth! Each day of camp, there were two coaches plus a third adult who was stationed at the shady rest area that helped with the check in/check out and was there to watch over any keiki taking a break. My just turned 6-year-old attended the Winter Camp 2022 at Central Park (aka Patsy Park) with coach Beau. He found coach Beau very amusing and excitedly shared with me some of the jokes and games after camp each day. It seemed like the perfect balance between learning skills, playing scrimmage and just good silly fun. I did see my son build confidence and have better control over the ball by the end of the week. Most parents drop off but you can come and go as you please with the kids playing in the open field and the coaches utilizing the shade during the hotter parts of the day. You will need cleats, a ball, lunch/snacks and plenty of water. Most parents dropped off their kids with that huge 'chugger' water bottle. I highly recommend this camp and hope to send my son again in the future. Aloha
