Melbourne Cheer Academy - Box Hill North (VIC)

5 /5 Sigourney Dalgliesh: MCA is such an amazing gym. I went there afraid of tryouts after other experiences but they were so kind and patient. They care about the younger athletes just as much as the worlds teams and the gym really feels like a family. The coaches have always been so supportive and have helped me grow so much. I would recommend MCA to anyone wether they are kids or adults, beginner or advanced or tumble or non tumble.

1 /5 reza ghasemi: ⚠️ Absolutely NOT Recommended!⚠️ Let me share my experience so others can avoid the same mistake. 1️⃣ When you first sign up, they charge you $100 upfront as a so-called “registration fee” — without providing any service yet. 2️⃣ Every time charge your account, they also take a surcharge, so you always end up paying more than what you think. 3️⃣ The most unbelievable part — they force you to pay extra fees even when you clearly don’t want to. They sent us an email saying we must pay for a “showcase.” We explained that our child had only attended one or two sessions and was obviously not ready to participate. Their response? “If you don’t pay, your child will lose part of their regular class time.” When I said, “But we already paid for the regular classes!” they replied, “That’s our policy.” So you’re basically forced to pay extra money or your child loses classes you already paid for! 4️⃣ They cancel classes frequently, and even when classes are not held, you still have to pay — again, “that’s our policy.” Even worse, they sometimes cancel normal classes to hold paid “events” or “ceremonies” on the same day and ask you to pay again if you want your child to attend. 5️⃣ They often don’t even notify you when a class is cancelled. You adjust your schedule, take your child there — and surprise, no class! When you ask why, they say, “We posted it on the app; you should have checked.” In reality, you’re not paying for your child to be active — you’re paying to keep yourself busy checking their app and chasing updates, while your child’s class is often cancelled anyway. Their service quality and sense of responsibility are close to zero. To be honest, if I don’t call it a complete scam, it definitely feels like an organization focused on collecting money in every possible way rather than providing proper coaching. They may reply to this review, and that’s their choice. I’m only sharing my experience, hoping it helps other parents make a better choice.

5 /5 Sammy Van Dyk: MCA has been the most amazing and welcoming club. Coaches who truely believe in you and your development as an athlete. This club is like a second home for so many of us

5 /5 Jordan Galtieri: I did cheerleading at MCA after being mutually connected through my university and it was a fantastic experience. Staff were very polite and the vibes were immaculate. Highly recommend for beginners or seasoned cheerleaders alike.

5 /5 Hannah: My daughter has been involved with Melbourne Cheer Academy for over 12 months and we are very happy with their knowledge and approach to teaching
