Fable Athletics was created from a lifelong passion for cheerleading, tumbling, and athlete development—and from one powerful belief: every athlete has a story worth telling. Founded by Joshua Barfield, a 2017 Cheerleading World Champion with 26 years of tumbling experience, 16 years as a competitive cheerleader, and more than 12 years of coaching experience, Fable brings championship-level knowledge to athletes at every stage. Through All-Star cheerleading, recreational tumbling, open gym, clinics, camps, and specialty training, our programs emphasize strong foundations, proper technique, confidence, and mastery before advancement.

At Fable Athletics, success is measured by more than trophies or difficult skills. We are building a program where athletes feel seen, supported, challenged, and proud to belong. Every class and practice is designed to develop discipline, character, teamwork, and a genuine love for the sport in a positive but structured environment. Whether an athlete is taking their first tumbling class, discovering cheer for the first time, or preparing to compete at an elite level, they will receive purposeful coaching and opportunities to grow. At Fable Athletics, athletes do more than learn skills—they build confidence, form lasting friendships, write their own stories, and become part of a legacy where legends are made.
