Dakota Spirit - Sioux Falls, SD

In 2006, John and Robin Fritsch were approved for an SBA 504 loan to purchase land and construct a new 9,600 square foot facility in southern Sioux Falls. Dakota Spirit provides youth team cheerleading services as well as private coaching, tumbling instruction, choreography, private camps for cheerleading programs around the state, and clinics for area students. The participating bank for this project was First Bank & Trust in Sioux Falls.
