Tryout Process
The try out process is very casual and fun! The athletes demonstrate Jumps, Tumbling Skills, and Choreography. Everyone is placed on a team no matter what! After tryouts, the staff will pick teams based on their discretion. Many key elements factor into the decision. Keep in mind all CA teams are built to compete at a high level.

Your age will be “locked in” on August 31, 2016 and this will determine your “competition age”. Please bring a copy of your birth certificate for Champion All-stars to have on file.
LEVELS
There are 5 levels in All-star Cheerleading. The “level” refers to the type of stunts, pyramids, and tumbling that a team can safely perform. They are numbered from 1 to 5 increasing in difficulty. The level is determined solely by the coaching staff.
Placement
There may be athletes on any give team that tumble different level than the best of their teammates. we try to match up the athletes by level as best as we can, but please remember that stunting, pyramids, jumps, dance, motions, and age are huge factors as well. Some will be stronger tumblers than others. Some will contribute more with stunts than others. We choose our teams based on the positions that we need to fill (bases, flyers, tumblers, etc.) Every athlete is on the team for a reason – Please trust the staff!
