AERIALS GYMNASTICS
OUR PROGRAM
COMPETITIVE GYMNASTICS TEAMS
At CIU, we proudly offer a competitive gymnastics team that follows the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) program, providing a structured yet challenging environment for gymnasts of various skill levels. Our teams currently include athletes competing at the BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, and PLATINUM levels, with each gymnast honing their skills and routines under the guidance of our dedicated coaches.
Team Competition & Travel
Our athletes participate in 6 meets per season, all within a two-hour radius of our gym, offering a balanced mix of local competition and travel. Each gymnast competes in the four individual gymnastics events: bars, beam, floor, and vault. Through personalized training, they master routines specified by AAU, helping them grow individually and as part of a team.
Want to Join Multiple Teams?
We understand that some athletes may have the desire and skill to participate in more than one team. If this is the case, your child will first be placed on the most age-appropriate and skill-appropriate team. A second team is optional and requires clear communication with our coaching staff. If you would like your child to be considered for an additional team, please let us know. The additional cost for being part of a second team is $68 per month.
Team Placement & Practice Schedule
Team placement is determined based on the athlete's skill level and age. Once a team is selected, specific practice times will be scheduled to ensure optimal training for each gymnast.

COACH BRI
Hi! I’m Bri Buck, and I’ve been with Cheer It Up since 2019. I bring over six years of experience coaching our Aerials Gymnastics team and have proudly served as head coach for the past four years.
I’m also the Director of CIU, where I oversee all areas of the gym—including the Aerials program, recreational classes, and competitive cheer and tumbling teams. I manage class schedules, lead our coaching staff, organize events, and help guide the program's overall vision.
What I love most is creating a positive and empowering environment where every athlete feels supported and capable. Watching them grow in skill, confidence, and self-belief is the most rewarding part of what I do.
COACH SHELBI
Hi! I’m Shelbi Goossen, and I’ve been coaching with the Aerials Gymnastics program for the past three years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Corporate Communications with a minor in Graphic Design from NSU and over a decade of gymnastics experience.
I started tumbling as a preschooler, began competing at nine, and later transitioned to cheerleading while continuing to coach at my home gym. Coaching is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life—I love helping athletes grow in confidence, discipline, and skill.
Aerials is more than a team—it’s a family, and I’m proud to be part of a program that empowers every gymnast.
