What is all-star cheerleader?
Allstar cheerleading is a type of cheerleading that doesn't
cheer for a specific team but is a dance routine (hip hop), that
involves hard stunts and a lot of hard tumbling just like gymnasts.
Some examples are odyssey allstars, Victory allstars, or Cheer
Extreme allstars!
An allstar cheerleading routine consists of several different
parts:
dance, cheer (the organization or team's cheer), jump sequence,
various motion sequences, running tumbling, several stunts, and a
pyramid.
Allstar cheerleading routines are up to 2.5 minutes long.
Deductions are usually given at competitions if the performance
exceeds this time.
Allstar teams attend several cheerleading competitions a year
where they will compete with other teams in their division on a
large spring floor. Competitions range from small, local
competitions to large, national competitions. There is also a
Worlds competition at Disney World in Orlando, Florida that can
only be attended if a team wins a Worlds Bid. Most other
competitions can be entered just by paying an entry fee, and bids
are usually not required.
There can be as few as 6 members on a team and as many as 36.
Both males and females can compete. The different divisions include
tiny, mini, youth, junior, senior and open divisions, which are all
based on age. The levels within those divisions are levels 1-5 and
they are based on difficulty level.
Allstar cheerleading is a great sport and a fun way to learn
about teamwork and cooperation. It is also a great way to make new
friends and boost your confidence!
