Elite Cheer Teams
Half Season (prep)
Beginners to All Star - Start HERE!
As we continue to evolve in our sport and industry – we have made a few modifications to enhance the training of team athletes. If you have never been part of an all-star team before – you’ll need to begin at the prep level. Our prep season will begin with placements in August (information packet available in July) with practices starting in September and running through April. The season will have a couple of months of training and learning routines for competition. Competitions start in January and end in April. We LOVE for all new athletes to get a jump start on training by beginning in tumbling classes.

OUR PHILOSOPHY ON CREATING SUCCESSFUL TEAMS
We have always and will continue to coach athletes to the best of their ability independent of the level of team they are on while striving to build the most successful teams. In our sport, scores are essentially based on two elements: the “Difficulty” that is incorporated within the routine and the “Technique”- how well in which the team executes the skills.
We strive for success by building each team so that there is a high percentage of athletes able to execute ELITE LEVEL skills for that level with EXCELLENT technique as well as the max age for the level. EXECUTION of a skill is defined as being able to perform the skill without hesitation while under aerobic stress (during the routine). There will however always be exceptions in which a team may need an athlete who falls outside of these parameters and is placed on a team for a specific skill set.
CONSIDERATION WHEN
BUILDING TEAMS
- Age grid (maximizing age limit)
- “Execution of skills” – skills that can be performed on blue without hesitation and under aerobic stress
- Tumbling, Stunt Ability
- Variability of Athlete (can the athlete fly and base, primary and secondary)
- Jumps (height, toe point, arm placement)
- Performability/Maturity
- Experience within the stunt position & years spent at a particular level
- A large portion of team placements will rely on athlete evaluation from previous seasons (coachability, work ethic, attitude, attendance, skill retention)
Teams are created through a placement process.
Full Seaon team tryouts are in
May and commit for a one year term.
Prep Season team tryouts are in August and commit
