Our traveling competitive teams (ages 5-18) practice two times a week and get FREE TUMBLING CLASSES included with their tuition!All our teams compete in national and local competitions. Teams travel to competitions to showcase their routine and compete with other all-star programs throughout the season. Enjoy time together and make memories with your family and teammates as you travel and compete! Competing as a cheerleader is challenging but so much fun!
At a typical cheerleading competition, teams perform a 2.5 minute routine with music that includes stunts, jumps, tumbling. Teams are judged by cheerleading experts on their routines difficulty and execution. The winning team in each division gets a trophy/banner and bragging rights!
All types of cheerleading teams have the option to compete, but not all school-based cheerleading squads are competitive. School teams usually perform routines with a cheer with signs, poms, and megaphones that showcase their sideline skills. Competitive cheer incorporates more tumbling, jumping, and stunting skills at a higher frequency and intensity.
A variety of skills are required at each level (1-7). Tumbling, jumping, and stunting are combined in unique ways to highlight each team’s strengths. All-star cheerleading squads (not affiliated with a school) exist solely to compete. All-star routines do not typically include a cheer since they don’t technically cheer for anyone, and their routines are all entertainment/music that accentuates the skills in each routine. Athletes are divided into teams based on their abilities and age.

Self Confidence
Through the challenge of learning tumbling and cheerleading skills, the students gain confidence with each step that they take. For example, with tumbling, skills on the floor mats and with faith in others, helps them gain confidence in their own abilities. This improved self-confidence will transfer to other areas of their lives including school.
Fun
All children benefit from classes and participation in cheer and tumbling classes. You have done a terrific job of parenting by getting your child interested in these educational sports. Many of the benefits of cheer and tumbling classes are related to learning more important developmental areas that will help your child become a better student and young adult. Cheer and tumbling programs are not solely about creating high-level athletes, there are so many more important areas to consider. All children, regardless of ability, should stay in cheer and tumbling classes for 3 – 5 years, if not longer, to get the full benefit of what their sport teaches.
Coordination
Tumbling and cheerleading instruction helps develop better coordination and body movement. For the young child, a great deal of their self confidence comes from how coordinated they are because their “world” is so physical rather than mental. Tumbling and Cheerleading improves coordination.
