WHAT IS ALL STAR CHEER
What Is All Star Cheerleading? An excerpt from http://usasf.net:
All Star Cheerleading is a competition sport that involves athletes performing a 2 minute and 20 second routine composed of tumbling, stunting, pyramids, dance, and cheer segments. This routine is performed and scored against other competitive teams at various local, regional, national, and worldwide competitions
When we refer to tumbling, we mean gymnastics skills like cartwheels and back handsprings. Stunting refers to a group of two or more individuals that elevate another cheerleader in the air. This also includes co-ed stunting that may only include one base and one flyer. Pyramids are a form of stunting but are done as a large group and are interconnected. Dance is a portion of a routine that consists of choreographed high energy dance moves.
The main difference between high school cheer and All Star Cheer is that a high school cheerleading team’s primary purpose is to support a local school’s sports teams and keep the crowd engaged. An All Star team performs purely for the challenge, thrill, and competition of the sport. Other important difference are that All Star Cheer can last up to an entire year, and All Star cheerleaders are not required to be from the same school or area.
