What is All Star Cheer?
All Star Cheer is the fastest growing sport in the WORLD! Cheerleading today isn’t your Grandma’s pom-
pom dance routine! The hybrid sport of today is a combination of gymnastics, acrobatics, athletic dance,
and many elements unique to All-Star. The faced paced sport is comprised into a 2 minute and 30 second
music routine compilation of as many unique skills the team can do, including; tumbling, stunting, jumping,
dancing, cheering, and performing! Teams are built with athletes ranging in abilities. Some athletes may
be an all around athlete, while others may strive as a tumbler. At competitions, the teams are divided by
age and ability level. The routines are judged by their level of difficulty, precision, creativity, and
entertainment value. All-Star cheerleading is a great way for young athletes to learn new skills while
building teamwork, goal-setting, sportsmanship, and numerous other social skills while making lifelong
friendships.

Tryouts:
Each athlete is required to learn a cheer and dance routine. The routine will be very short, and easy to
learn. In addition, the athlete will also be evaluated on:
•Jumps
•Motion Placement
•Showmanship
•Tumbling ability, which is not required for all teams.
•Optimum flexibility and athletic ability.
•Attitude and work ethic, willingness to try new skills, and to accept positive criticism.
Tryouts are laidback and as relaxed as possible
We will work together to come up with teams that each have the best possible chance of a successful
competitive season. This means that each team would ideally be comprised of a variety of athletes with a
variety of talents. After our meetings are completed, we will contact each athlete (or parent) individually to
let them know the results of tryouts.
Our goal is to have teams available for athletes of every age and experience level, so the vast majority of
athletes attending tryouts will be placed on a team. If an athlete tries out and is not selected for a team,
they will be suggested to our class program so that they can gain the experience necessary to be a part of
our competitive program.
Summer Practices and Choreography Camp are completely MANDATORY. This is when we learn and
work skills, and learn the competition routine. If one person is missing from a practice, it affects the entire
team. When contacted about team placement, we will provide you with summer team practice times for
your team.
In addition, Diamond Cheer will attend any performances scheduled, and winter/spring competitions.
Program Cost:
Competitive Cheerleading, while not as costly as other competitive sports, can still be costly. Please
carefully consider the financial commitment involved. Diamond Cheer offers incredible rates for our
competitive athletes. Our monthly tuition is comparable or cheaper than other local gyms. Competitive
packages include tumbling and conditioning. We will do our best to keep extra expenses to a minimum.
We will not have any “hidden fees”. We will provide our families upfront with our tuition fees and estimates
of uniforms, competition fees, choreography/music fees, and any other expenses that may occur
throughout the season. Fundraising is ENCOURAGED! We will compose a fundraising committee to
schedule fundraising events throughout the season.
