CHEERLEADING  

Cheerleading is a competition sport that involves females and males performing a 2 minute & 30 second routine composed of stunting, pyramids, group tumbling, jumping and a dance break. This routine is performed and scored against other competitive teams at various local, regional, national, and worldwide competitions.    All Star cheerleading teams differ from other teams by training year-round for competitions. They also differ from most other sports in that every team member is vital to the team and the performance. Everybody has an integral part! Each member of the team is trained in all aspects of the sport in order to develop their skills to reach their maximum potential. Cheerleading builds incredible athletes but more importantly, makes great people!
