Come join our family a be a part of Central Illinois' FIRST and BEST All Star Cheerleading Program!  
We have teams for girls and boys of ALL AGES and ALL ABILITY LEVELS!

Our all star cheerleading teams are formed through stress-free and fun evaluation sessions.  These sessions are run more like a practice,  
where we will teach and work together on all aspects of cheerleading, including tumbling, jumps, and stunts.  This allow us to assess each
athlete's current skill level, as well as their potential and willingness to learn.  Since the USASF allows for multiple levels within each age
group, no one will be cut from our program, but rather we will evaluate each individual and place them on the team best suited for their
age and skill level.  No matter if you are a beginner or advanced athlete, or somewhere in between, we have a team for you!

All athletes must register prior to participating in the evaluation sessions.  You may either register early by clicking on "Register Now!" below
and following the instructions or you may register during the scheduled registration times listed below.  Brief parent meetings will take place
after registration, followed by the required first evaluation session for each group.  After that initial session, each athlete must attend two
additional sessions.  You do not have to sign up for the particular days in which you are attending, simply just show up.  We ask that when
attending evaluations, all athletes wear shorts and a t-shirt or tank top and cheerleading shoes or other gym shoes.  Hair must also be pulled
up into a clean ponytail.  All athletes will be placed on a team and they will be posted at the conclusion of evaluations week on the website.

*IMPORTANT* All of our teams are divided by age. Your age on May 31, 2008 determines your "competition age" for the 08-09 season.
Please use your "competition age" to determine which evaluation sessions you should attend.
