OUR STORY

More Than Cheer.
A Place to Belong.

Atlanta Monarchs was created from a simple belief: every child deserves the opportunity to grow, lead, and shine—regardless of her family’s financial circumstances.

As an educator, I have seen what happens when a child is surrounded by encouragement, discipline, structure, and positive mentorship. Confidence grows. Courage grows. Dreams grow.

We are building a place where young girls are not only taught how to cheer, but how to believe in themselves, lead with character, and become part of a sisterhood that celebrates every milestone.

My promise to every family

  • Lead with integrity, professionalism, and compassion.
  • Put every athlete’s safety and well-being first.
  • Create an environment where every child feels seen, valued, challenged, and encouraged.
  • Partner with families to build confident, respectful, and resilient young women.

With gratitude,

OUR INAUGURAL SEASON

Become a Founding Monarch.

Atlanta Monarchs is intentionally launching with a limited inaugural roster of 10 total athletes. Starting with a smaller team allows us to provide personalized coaching, meaningful mentorship, and the attention every athlete deserves.

Once the Founding Team reaches capacity, additional families may join our Monarch Priority Waiting List. As the organization grows through community support and sponsorships, more roster opportunities may become available.

The first 10 athletes will forever be recognized as our Founding Monarchs—the young girls who helped establish the culture, traditions, and legacy of Atlanta Monarchs.

OFFICIAL REVEAL

Something Beautiful
Is Taking Flight.

Our official competition uniform will be unveiled at our inaugural Meet the Monarchs event.

All you have to do is believe in yourself. We will help you find your confidence, discover your voice, and grow into the leader you were created to be.

We will cheer for you every step of the way.

Welcome to the Monarch Family.
