What cheer competitions have you really enjoyed competing in the most?   
Their favorite comp to attend, hands down is always reach the beach in Ocean City, Maryland.

What championship or placement are you most proud of at your gym?  
"This is tough. Our original Lady Legends, after taking a hard second place in Disney came back to compete at Globals and completely killed their routine and won! At the time I know I had several girls leaving me for their incredibly talented high school program so that win was not just emotional but such a beautiful moment for us all. I also have to say that watching my Senior 3 team battle it out with another incredible Senior 3 team at Cheerstarz this past season and watch them kill their Freddy Mercury themed routine securing them a Bid to their Quest was also amazing!"

What is something you would like our readers to know about your gym? 
Our level 4 team “Legends” is derived from the original Lady Legends- a name we gave our kids after years of competing in the "AYF World" as the Keansburg Titans. In order to know us you have to know that our kids, starting in 2013 battled every adversity you could imagine as a low income program with awful uniforms and zero practice space or equipment. We taught our kids that you don’t need fancy equipment, just a great work
ethic. We went on to win just about every local, state and regional comp they had to offer. In 2016 we won the national title after several attempts and some crazy rule violations and disappointments. Then, we made the jump To Pop Warner and despite a fantastic experience, but we felt our kids deserved more. In 2019 we started our performance rec journey. At the time opening up township boundaries and giving the community an opportunity to train like an Allstar program without the Allstar price tag. Through extraordinary fundraising we managed to secure our own training facility that now has a full spring floor fully equipped with tumble tracks and mats.

Quote from the team...
"Our mission has been about falling back in love with the sport. We tend to get very wrapped up in the Bid chasing and forget why we do what we do! We believe in discipline we believe in hard work and we believe in family. When you cheer at TCA you have an entire army to back you."
