Elite Cheer Teams
Elite Cheer has been in business for over 25 years with deep roots in the sport of cheerleading. Our three founders originally met at the University of Nebraska Lincoln where they competed in competitive cheer and quickly developed relationships that would last a lifetime. Through their own experience in the sport, they developed many of traits they instill in the athletes they coach today. Discipline, teamwork, and integrity are the cornerstones upon which our entire cheerleading program was developed around. We want our athletes to not only succeed on the mat but in their life as well. At Elite Cheer we create more than a team, we create a family. A family that holds each other accountable. A family that works towards the same goals. A family that extends past the doors of our gym. We take pride in all the awards and accolades we’ve won over the years, but nothing is as great of a success to us as the relationships we’ve helped nurture and build throughout the years.

Small Coed Open Level 6 NEW
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce Elite Cheer’s newest concept to the program. Our 2nd Worlds team. It’s imperative to understand the idea behind our endeavor. With so many athletes that are good enough for a Worlds team, we want our teams to be as competitive as they can within the division limitations that we must adhere to. A second Worlds team would be both: more competitive than one large team, and allow our very talented athlete pool to experience the best of the best. The team will have the same expectations as our current Worlds team - but with its own identity.
XSmall All Girls Level 6

This team will be picked in a special tryout accounting for skills, work ethic, attendance, and coach-ability.
Special Needs
Our special needs team is a program that is showing outstanding potential. We have developed this team to enhance not only our program - but the lives of those that don't get a chance to compete or perform in other sports. The All-Star industry has welcomed this group of incredible athletes for several years now. This team is designed for those with disabilities and encompasses skill levels to fit the needs of the many wonderful students that fall in this category. The industry has named this division CheerABILITIES with emphasis on the “Excpetional Athletes” that encompass this group. We are super excited for this part of our family to grow and blossom over the next several years.
Half Season Teams
Elite created half season teams that are introductory to our full season teams. This allows new athletes and families that either may not know what we are about - or are not ready to commit to a full season - get a feel for our program. Skills and Training are the same with progressions mimicking our full season athletes. The pace is a little slower with emphasis on routines and competing at the all-star level. Training ends up being about 4 months shorter and competitions are all close to home. This is an excellent way to start our program without being fully submersed in the World of All-Star Cheer!
