UPPER MERION ALL STARS
Join an Upper Merion All Stars Cheerleading team for the 2025-2026 Season!
SEASON 12
What is All Star cheerleading?
All Star cheerleading is a dynamic co-ed competitive sport where teams, consisting of boys and girls ages 3 and up, perform routines featuring tumbling, stunts, jumps, pyramids, and dance. These teams compete at various levels, from local and regional events to national and world championships. Our teams are structured with skill levels ranging from 1 to 6, allowing athletes of different experience levels to join!
What is the commitment?
Our season begins in June and runs through late April or early May. (Our younger Novice and Prep teams begin their season in September.) Each team practices 2 or 3 times per week, and at the higher athlete levels, additional practices may be added prior to competitions. Our Elite and Worlds teams also attend choreography and stunting camps at the gym during the summer and on several weekends during the fall. To best prepare our teams for success, attendance is mandatory for all practices, camps, clinics, showcases and competitions.
What should I expect at Evaluations?
All Star cheerleading uses Evaluations to create teams. Day 1 of Evaluations consists of tumbling, jumps, dance, and calisthenic exercises. Day 2 of Evaluations are Stunting Callbacks to showcase your stunting skills (top girls, bases and backs) in groups.
Most athletes are placed on teams according to tumbling skills and relatively similar ages, however, we are also looking for exceptional skills such as center jumpers, center dancers, strong bases and flexible top girls. Prepare to show all of your best skills, so that our coaches know what your strengths are! Trust the process. If you are unsure what level you fall in, check out the Instagram video links below to match your tumbling skills to your appropriate level.
