Our story & coaches
Built in Lamar County
A community gym where athletes build skills, confidence and lifelong friendships.
Our story
From a corner of the Fun Center to our own floor
Sky Athletics began its journey in May 2019. Owner Skyler Burchinal started the gym inside Paris's Family Fun Center, with Amanda Phillips as our first coach, offering tumbling and cheer classes for ages 3 and up plus a traveling competition team.
We've grown a lot since then. Today Sky is an all-star cheer and tumbling gym at 6590 Lamar Rd in Reno, with eight all-star teams, tumbling classes from Mommy & Me to Advanced, private lessons, birthday parties, camps and school-break childcare.
Through it all, Sky has been about community: families who travel to competitions together, cheer each other on and rally when one of our own needs help.

Skills are broken into steps and built on solid technique before moving up.
