2024-2025 SEASON INFO
WHAT IS ALL STAR CHEER? [www.usasf.net/cheer]

All Star Cheer is a high energy, team-based, performance sport that is athletic, artistic and acrobatic. It involves athletes competing with a 2 and a 1/2 minute routine composed of tumbling, stunting, pyramids, dance and cheer segments.

​

While some skills are individually developed, such as tumbling or dancing, partner stunts, pyramids and tosses require a great deal of teamwork and routines require synchronization and team uniformity.

​

All Star Cheer differs from traditional school cheer teams in that its primary purpose is competition, while school cheer involves crowd leading and other school roles, as well as the option for competition. All Star cheer teams are most often organized and based out of a club and have teams that are open to all area cheer athletes.

 

Teams are formed based on tiers for every ability level, from Novice to Elite. All Star rules are leveled based on progressions of skills commonly performed in cheer and are developmentally appropriate for the age of the competitor. 

​

TEAM PLACEMENT/LEVELS

We reserve the right to place athletes on the team/level that will be the most suitable for proper skill development and progression for each athlete and team. We are happy to discuss developmental progress with each athlete and parent, but we expect trust in our process and our professional knowledge on team placements.
