Drake Athletics Booster Club was founded by a devoted Mother who wanted to support the athletes and families of Drake Athletics All-Star Cheer. She brought together a team of passionate parents—not just moms and dads, but a true family—united by a shared goal: to ensure every athlete has the opportunity to succeed. The Booster Club helps offset costs for competitions, travel, uniforms, and other essentials, easing the burden so athletes can focus on what they love. 

Drake Athletics All-Star Cheer is a newer program proudly serving the Traverse City area. It was inspired by the legacy of one of the kindest and most passionate cheerleaders to ever step on the mat—Drake, a cherished member of our Roots team. Tragically, Drake passed away at the age of 16 due to a seizure. His genuine kindness, unwavering dedication, and joyful spirit continue to guide and inspire our community every day.

At Drake Athletics, our mission is to honor his memory by creating an environment rooted in compassion, teamwork, and perseverance. We strive to treat every athlete and guest with the same warmth and enthusiasm that Drake shared so freely. In everything we do, we aim to reflect his spirit through hard work, loyalty, and a deep love for the sport.

Drake Athletics is home to a talented group of All-Star athletes who exemplify hard work, dedication, and passion for their sport. These individuals train year-round, balancing intense practice schedules with academic and personal commitments, all while representing our program with pride and integrity.

Our athletes compete at the highest levels, bringing home regional, national titles. But more than their accolades, it’s their teamwork, discipline, and spirit that define who they are.

We are proud to support these young athletes as they chase their goals, build lifelong friendships, and represent the best of Drake Athletics.
