Here at Cen Cal Spirit Elite, all decisions we make are guided by our six core values. These values have real-life daily applications for staff, parents and athletes within our program.

We believe greatness starts with showing up. Every athlete, coach, and staff member commits to giving their full effort at every practice, event, and competition. This means being on time, being prepared, and being mentally and physically present. We stay committed not just to our own success, but to our team’s success — understanding that every rep, every stunt, and every skill matters.

Excellence is a mindset, not perfection. We push ourselves and our teammates to always improve, aim higher, and embrace hard work. Whether you’re hitting a new skill, perfecting technique, or encouraging a teammate — we chase excellence in every moment. We celebrate personal growth, team victories, and the courage to step outside of our comfort zones.

We believe in creating an uplifting, safe, and supportive environment where athletes can build confidence, resilience, and friendships. Every athlete matters here. We nurture not only skills, but self-esteem, leadership qualities, and a strong sense of belonging. Our gym is a family where encouragement and positive attitudes come standard.

Who we are outside of the gym matters just as much as who we are on the floor. We expect our athletes and staff to demonstrate integrity, honesty, and respect for others at all times. Character is what holds this program together. From social media behavior to how we treat our teammates and competitors, we lead with kindness and sportsmanship.

We take ownership of our actions, our words, and our responsibilities. This means being honest about mistakes, showing up when we say we will, and holding each other to high standards. Accountability builds trust, teamwork, and reliability — values that help us succeed both on and off the mat.

Every athlete has the ability to lead, no matter their age, title, or skill level. Leadership at CENCAL is about setting a positive example, lifting others up, and taking initiative when it counts. We believe in growing leaders who inspire by their actions, encourage by their words, and help create a culture where everyone feels valued.
