competitive divisions
The USASF has created 4 different Fundamental All-star Divisions for the 2023-2024 season. Below are details on each division. We are very excited about these changes and are confident they will allow every child to have a place to thrive and further their love of the sport.
there are four divisions:
all star fundamentals
all star novice
all star prep
all star elite
Every athlete that attends Team Tryouts will be placed on a Novice, Prep or Elite team for the 2024-2025 season. Athletes interested in a Fundamental team do not need to tryout and will join online through our class program.
all star fundamentals:
A perfect opportunity
All Star Fundamentals is the first stop for kids who are interested in All Star cheer. The focus is on welcoming new athletes to All Star and making sure they have fun, feel safe and make friends!
Teams will have periodic performances in the gym. All Star Fundamentals gives kids a chance to try elements of competitive cheer without having to attend cheer competitions.
Our main goal with the addition of this division is to:
establish a FUN, low-pressure, non-competitive, technique-centered progressional path for first-time cheer athletes.
provide an opportunity to learn about All Star cheer and prepare to transition to competitive teams as they are ready.
introduce All Star cheer so that kids fall in love with it for LIFE!
all star novice:
take the next step
All Star Novice welcomes athletes moving up from Fundamentals, or with some past cheer experience. The program continues to build a love for All Star, while focusing on skill building and growth in a low-pressure, evaluation-only environment.
Teams will attend cheer competitions and be evaluated on a rating system only and not scored against other teams.

are ready to transition from Fundamentals to team performances that are evaluated at events.

raising the standard
All Star Prep is perfect for the athlete ready to take it to the next level! The program provides an introduction to a competitive environment, which drives excellence in skill building.
Teams will attend State and National cheer competitions and compete against other teams in their respective divisions.
