The Team

Hanover Elite Cheer has been open for 9 years, as of 2024. Chris Topper opened the gym in June 2015. Before starting Hanover Elite, he used to be a coach for a high school cheerleading team. In 2015, Chris' team won the cheerleading nationals down in Orlando, Florida after winning 4 state championships in a row. After that accomplishment, Chris decided to open his own all-star gym, Hanover Elite Cheer. Hanover Elite's first practice only had 15 kids. Since then, the gym has grown to have well over 200 kids coming in and out of the doors a year.

We cannot wait to see what the future holds for HEC!
