Phoenix Cheer and Dance Sports Club
Who is the Exceptional Abilities Cheer & Dance Team?
The Exceptional Abilities training is a program specially designed for athletes with a disability. Our program has been part of the Phoenix Family since our doors opened. We have dedicated staff who have experience working with people with disabilities. Our coaches are supportive and understanding and want to provide routines that will push our EA athletes to challenge themselves to their fullest potential
Funding
Eligible athletes can pay their term fees through NDIS. Our club has experience with NDIS funding processes and is happy to work on this with you.
Competitive Teams
At Phoenix, we believe in providing the same high standard for EA team training as we do our mainstream teams. Our EA teams will compete at 6 state competitions and Nationals. Choreography will be completed in-house. This makes it easier if adjustments need to be made throughout the season. We build a relationship and understand the abilities of each of our athletes, and this enables us to choreograph a routine that will highlight their strengths. In 2025 we will be offering: Cheer, Pom, Jazz, Lyrical & Hip Hop.
NDIS Support
The National Disability Insurance Scheme
Phoenix Cheer & Dance is not a registered NDIS service provider. However, as we offer Group-based activities, you may be able to claim for our cheer and dance classes through your NDIS plan if you are Self or Plan Managed. This generally can be claimed under the athlete's Core Supports or Capacity Building, depending on their goals.
The most popular category to claim our classes through is Assistance with Social & Community Participation under the Core Supports budget.
If you're unsure and would like further information, ask your Support Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator or Plan Manager (if applicable). We can also provide a quote.
