LCCT ALL-STAR CHEER TRYOUT INFORMATION

What is All Star Cheerleading?

  • All Star cheerleading is an athletic activity that combines elements of gymnastics tumbling, dance, acrobatics, and traditional cheerleading skills such as jumps and motions.
  • Teams consist of up to 36 athletes performing exciting, professionally choreographed 2½ minute routines set to music.
  • All star teams are purely competitive and do not perform any traditional team support or crowd leading duties for sports teams or schools.
  • Our teams compete against other All Star teams from across the region at a full schedule of competitions between December and April each year, with most teams attending between 6 and 7 events each season.
  • Teams are set up by age group. The age group options are: Mini (6-8 years old), Youth (9-11 years old), Junior (12-14 years old), and Senior (15-18 years old).
  • Teams also compete at specific difficulty levels ranging from level 1 for beginners, up to level 5 for athletes with advanced skills. Our training program is designed to help athletes develop their skills and move to higher levels as they grow in the sport.
  • All Star is a co-ed activity and is great for boys as well as girls. Some teams compete exclusively in co-ed divisions and some in all-girl divisions.
  • All Star is a great way for children and young people to improve fitness and coordination.
  • It is also a great environment for developing confidence and self esteem as well as developing positive life skills, personal values, sportsmanship and teamwork.
