How it all began...

Platinum Elite Cheer & Tumble Inc. was established as a club in December 2017 by a small group of dedicated parents and coaches who wanted to ensure cheerleading would continue in New Plymouth after the previous cheerleading business ceased operations in November 2017.

Platinum Elite's first season launched with just two competition teams and 40 athletes. Since then, we have continued to grow. By the 2025 season, Platinum Elite had six competition teams and over 120 athletes.

In 2024, we reached several major milestones as a club:

• We signed a lease on our very own building.

• With the support of the TOI Foundation, we were able to purchase and install a sprung floor.

To cap off an incredible year, two Elite teams and a stunt group from Platinum Elite traveled to Australia to compete at the AASCF Nationals. Our athletes represented the club with pride and excellence:

• Atomic (Junior Level 1) placed 2nd

• Midnight Ice (Senior Coed Level 3) also placed 2nd

• Our Senior All Girl Stunt Group placed 1st

The club is incredibly proud of all our athletes, and we’re excited for what the future holds!
