The Story of TAI:
TAI is owned by Alexandria Lazor. Lazor started working at TAI in 2014 and bought the gym during COVID in 2020. The program started with about 20 athletes with minimum skills, and have now built it from the ground up to have levels 1-6.
Established in 2014, TAI has already made their mark on the cheer world! The program has been named Regional, National & International Champions! They are 20x CHEERSPORT National Champions, 7x NCA All-Star National Champions, 9x D2 Summit Champions, 4x Silver D2 Summit Champions, 7x Regional Summit Champions, and are the 2022 Triple Crown points race winners for all of level four. TAI proudly secured their first globe at The Cheerleading Worlds in the Limited Extra Small Coed division in their very FIRST year in tumbling level 6 (2025). TAI was also the Varsity Cheer League leaderboard winners in all of the midwest regions for FOUR of their teams in 2022. TAI won The Varsity Cheer League in 2023 with the Ice Queens and again in 2024 with our Senior Coed 4, Eruption & then again in 2025 with our Large Senior 5 team, Arctic5!

What Makes TAI Special?
TAI knows that our success doesn't just come from the immense talent of our athletes & dedication of our parents & staff, but the favor of Christ. We are a Christian-based facility & make sure that every aspect of our gym represents Christ. We want to instill solid morals, values, & beliefs in our athletes so that they may graduate from the gym as confident, independent, & well-rounded young men & women. The very reason we founded TAI is so all who enter have a safe place to call home, to learn, to love, & to live the fullest life possible.
We are truly a family. We have such a close bond with every athlete and family in our program. We trust each other, we are always there for each other!
-Alexandria Lazor, Owner of TAI
What Are You The Most Proud Of With Your Program?
How committed our parents and athletes are. That we are from such a small town in Pennsylvania and we are constantly putting our name on the board with only 61 elite kids is insane!
