All-Star Cheer in Texas: A Guide
All-star cheer in Texas is gym-based competitive cheer: teams train year-round, compete against teams in the same age and level, and travel to events. Texas has many gyms and a large cheer community, so athletes and parents have lots of choices. This guide explains how to choose a gym and what a team needs.
How all-star cheer works
All-star teams belong to a gym or club rather than a school, and are placed in age divisions and skill levels. For the full picture, read what all-star cheerleading is and how competitive cheer is scored. Official rules and levels are published by USASF.
