Cheerleading was officially recognized in the 1970's, but has been a part of the Pop Warner program for several decades. The first ever National Cheerleading competition was held in DeKalb County, GA. Today, 160,000 children are participating in cheerleading and dance around the United States.

Participation in the Pop Warner Spirit Program provides kids an opportunity to perform in an organized, supervised, safety-oriented environment. Pop Warner programs emphasize fun for all and encourage the development of qualities important long after Pop Warner days are gone.

The Northeast Heat program is headed by Andrea King and the King's Elite Cheerleading Academy. Andrea has been coaching for over 20 years and has a National coaches certification to teach cheer and dance. Andrea has coached for Bloomington North High School and for the Bloomington Elite cheer squad who she led to back to back competition championships. In addition, she has also served as lead for the Knights of Glory Drum and Bugle Corp dance team which performed for the Indianapolis Black Expo as well as Carmel city parades and the Circle City Classic.
