Elite offers athletes the full All-Star experience—building strong skills, discipline, and teamwork—while competing at the most competitive level.

​Prep Cheer is a step between recreational and full All-Star cheer. It offers athletes the chance to learn routines, build teamwork, and experience the excitement of competitions—without the full year-long commitment or higher costs of traditional All-Star teams. Practices are usually shorter, competitions are local, and it’s designed to help athletes grow skills in a fun, supportive, and less demanding environment.

​

• Year-round commitment June through May

• Practices are required 2-3 times per week. (1 practice, 1 tumbling, possible additional practices).

• Ages 5-18, teams divided by age and skill level

• 3-5 competitions per season

• Competitions include 1-2 overnight, travel destinations for full travel teams. Destinations may include Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, and Louisville.
