GK Headquarters was pleased and proud to host the Cheer Division's Territory Account Managers, or TAMs, for an intense 3 day conference of meetings, round table discussions, and activities here in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Alicia Whatley, National Sales Manager for GK said, "I feel it is an invaluable key to success for our account managers to come together at the corporate office for professional product and sales training and to tour GK's manufacturing facility. The TAMs were able to see, first hand, the quality, detail, and craftsmanship that goes into creating a GK garment from start to finish. I am proud to say that the GK account manager team is the most specialized and knowledgeable in the industry when it comes to understanding the needs of cheer and dance customers. I like to call them 'our A team' because they are truly my dream team."
GK's TAMs are available to assist those GK customers who want full service! No matter what your needs are as our customer - custom cheerleading uniforms, womens or mens cheerleading apparel, warm ups, cheer practice wear, or any other cheerleading or dance apparel GK offers - our experienced TAM's will handle everything for you from design idea to completed GK garment. Simply bring your ideas and they’ll take care of the rest!
Tiffany's Cheer and Dance Studio in New Whiteland, Indiana, just south of Indianapolis, is a small gym with big stars! Their Mini Cheer Champions recently brought home First Place, Grand Champions in Level 1 Overall and a U.S. Finals Paid Bid at the Jamfest Nationals in Chicago. The new GK cheer uniforms were a great way to celebrate Tiffany's 10th Season celebration!
Tiffany Messersmith, owner of Tiffany's Cheer & Dance Studio, said, "We have been with a local vendor for the past 5 years due to poor customer support in the past. We saw GK uniforms at competitions and in the catalog and fell in love with them. We decided to give GK a shot. I have had great customer support, the cheer uniforms were made perfectly and shipped on time. We love our GK cheer uniforms! We have had no problems and GK responded to any minor issues right away. Thank you GK for putting your customers first and for making such a great product. We are so happy with our decision to chose GK!"
Rachel Siciliano, GK Cheer Sales Representative for Indiana and Northern Indianapolis, assisted Tiffany in designing the Cheer Champion's new look. The cheer top is a custom design similar to GK's
Side Panel Halter Uni Top U118L which they made their own with Zany Zebra, Black Mystique and Berry Mystique fabrics. Champions spelled out in Clear jewels across the front of the top is a dazzling addition. The Cheer Champs paired the top with a GK special order cheer skirt,
Low Rise Binding/Slit Skirt U719L, customizing the fabric to coordinate with their tops. The glistening Clear jewel crown on the back above the cut-out is the finale of this cheer masterpiece!
Good luck Cheer Champions! You look fantastic!

As Maryland Twisters F5’s point flyer, our new GK Cheer website cover girl Val Rubenstein has been gaining a lot of attention from the cheer world this year. Her amazing showmanship in both stunts and tumbling has really displayed her remarkable cheerleading abilities!
Val discusses cheerleading and NCA All-Star Nationals with GK:
What is your favorite part of being an All-Star Cheerleader?
“My favorite part of being an All-Star Cheerleader is meeting people! I've met some of my very best friends and amazing coaches through the sport and I don't know what I would do without them!”
So NCA is this weekend! How are you feeling going into it?
“I'm so excited! All I can say is I'm ready! My team is working so hard to prepare for this nationals event and we want to win so badly! I'm ready to show the world what we're made of!”
What have you been doing to prepare yourself?
“I've been eating right and working out to make sure I can endure this routine flawlessly! At practices I make sure to do everything that's asked of me so that when the time comes to perform I'm prepared!”
What is your favorite part of F5's routine this year?
“My favorite part of F5's routine this year is the stunt sequence because when we hit it at competition the thrill of hearing the crowd roar is an indescribable feeling!
Do you have any pre-performance rituals/superstitions?
“I hate splitting poles! Before we take the floor we pray and have a team talk on the floor. I also have handshakes with a few girls on the team that we do right before the music starts!”
What do you think of your GK competition cheer apparel?
“Our custom GK uniforms are amazing! Not only are they gorgeous, they are so comfortable! The crystals make them so unique from any other brand and when the lights hit them on the floor the sparkle is breathtaking!”
Her advice to other cheerleaders:
“There are no excuses for anything! When you think you have reached your absolute limits push harder and you'd be amazed at what you can do! An amazing person once told me to hope for the best and expect the worst because whatever can go wrong will and you need to be prepared to fight for every last bit of it.”

A cheerleading competition is tough, demanding, and action-packed. Yet, movements should look effortless. It is important that every move is well executed. To be sure you’re in top form while performing, your team should be in the best competition cheerleading uniforms. A great cheerleading uniform is one that not only looks good and is well designed, but is something that fits well and is comfortable enough to allow all kinds of movements.
The reason fit and comfort is important is that your outfit can make or break your performance. A perfect fit will flatter your figure so well and will make you truly own your outfit. There’s nothing more distracting (to you AND the judges) than cheerleading wear that is too loose or too small for you. You have to make sure that your uniform fits you well. What is fit without comfort? It’s something equally not worth wearing. Good cheerleading uniforms must fit you and you must be comfortable in them. Your uniform should not restrict your movements making you look stiff.
If you're looking for a uniform that perfectly fits you and is comfortable, check out our catalog. GK Elite offers the most dazzling cheerleading apparel that is custom fit and uses the highest quality 4-way stretch fabrics to ensure maximum comfort. When you feel confident & comfortable, you actually perform better!

When you’re part of a cheer team, it is important to always look your best. Since you’ll be wearing your cheerleading uniform, it's essential to make sure that your logo is noticeable so people can easily identify your team.
Your team's logo speaks for your group. This is why it's important to have one that represents the characteristics of your team. Having a logo that stands out makes your entire cheerleading uniform look more exciting.
There are many ways to make your logo shine. Because you can have logos customized, there are countless ways to style your logo and make it as original and as creative as possible. A more traditional logo treatment would be appliqué embroidery using fabric lettering to create your logo. To make your cheerleading unis extra special so they shine throughout your routine, you can add jewels on top of the appliqué embroidery so it's completely filled in or lightly scattered to give a subtle shimmering effect.
Jewel appliqués and embellishments are a part of GK Elite’s latest trend in cheer apparel. It is not only the eye popping colors that will make your uniform interesting. The best part is, you can jewel your uniform with as many crystals as you want! By applying a bit of sparkle here and there, you can be sure that all eyes will be on you all throughout the competition.
