Hi! I'm Khristy Carter, the Owner and Founder of Clinton Tigers Cheer & Tumble.

​

If you had told me years ago that God would one day call me to lead a cheer and tumbling program, I never would have believed it. But God's plans are always greater than our own, and I am so thankful He chose this path for me.

​

I am a certified gymnastics instructor through USA Gymnastics (USAG) and hold certifications through NFHS Cheer & Dance, USA Cheer, along with additional safety and coaching certifications. While I value continued education and excellence in coaching, my greatest qualification is the calling God placed on my heart to use cheerleading as a ministry.

​

When I began Clinton Tigers, I knew I wanted something different. I didn't feel led to follow the traditional all-star cheer model. Instead, God called me to build a Christ-centered competitive cheer and tumbling program where athletes could grow not only in their skills but also in their faith.

 

Our mission is simple:

​

• Share the Gospel through the sport of cheer.

• Build confident, disciplined athletes.

• Create a positive, family-focused environment.

• Keep our program affordable so more families can participate.

• Teach our athletes that their identity is found in Christ before trophies, titles, or talents.

• ​

Every practice, competition, camp, and event is an opportunity to encourage our athletes, worship together, pray together, and point them toward Jesus. Winning is exciting, but seeing lives changed for Christ is the greatest victory of all.

​

Outside of the gym, I am blessed to be married to my amazing husband, Ricky Carter, who serves as the Worship Pastor at Clinton Community Church in Clinton, North Carolina. Together we have three wonderful children—Noah, Caden, and our youngest, Adelyn—who inspire me every day.

​

Thank you for trusting our family and our staff with your children. Clinton Tigers is more than a cheer program—we are a family, a ministry, and a place where athletes are challenged to become fearless in both their sport and their faith.
