All-Star Cheerleading is a competitive sport that involves a team of athletes performing a combination of stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance routines.
Our sport began as sideline cheerleading and has grown, with over 70 countries participating. In 2016, U.S. involvement in the sport rose 11.7%, with 4.03 million active cheerleaders ages six and older.
All-Star Cheerleading teams are typically composed of athletes of various ages and skill levels, ranging from youth to adult. They are classified into different divisions based on age, skill level, and team size. Teams may be all-female or mixed-gender, competing against others in local, regional, national, and even international competitions.
The routines performed by All-Star Cheerleading teams are highly choreographed and typically include a combination of synchronized stunts, where athletes lift and toss each other in the air, tumbling skills such as flips and handsprings, jumps, and dance elements, all set to music. Teams are judged on their execution, difficulty level, creativity, and overall performance, to achieve the highest score possible.
All-Star Cheerleading is a physically demanding and highly competitive sport that requires athleticism, strength, flexibility, coordination, and teamwork. Athletes train extensively to develop their skills, competitions can be intense and exciting, with teams vying for top honors and championships.
Overall, All-Star Cheerleading is a dynamic and thrilling sport that combines athleticism, showmanship, and teamwork.
In 2021, the International Olympic Committee recognized all-star cheerleading as an official sport in the Games.
Our sport is an excellent way for young athletes to learn new skills while building teamwork, goal setting, sportsmanship, and making lifelong friendships.
