The best cheer program in Clayton!

We are a non-profit youth cheerleading program in Clayton NC that accepts athletes from all over Johnston County, NC.

 

Our program is designed for young athletes aged 4 to 16, ensuring that each child is placed on a team that suits their age, skill level, and individual growth. We aim to provide a supportive environment for our members to grow their skills and build lifelong friendships.

 

Our story is one of passion, teamwork, and dedication to excellence. At JoCo Phoenix, we believe that cheerleading is more than just a sport—it’s an opportunity to build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong skills.
