This is the cheerleading you often see showcased on ESPN. Our sport is extremely athletic and skill-based. Cheerleading competitions are held all over the World!
What ages can my child start tumbling and cheer classes?
At Arizona All-Stars, tumbling classes start as young as five. Arizona All-Stars Force Cheer teams range from ages 6-18 years old. Our recreational cheer F3 teams begin at ages 4 though 14 years of age.
How are tumbling classes at ARIZONA ALL-STARS different from gymnastic classes?
Tumbling classes at Arizona All-Stars revolve strictly around floorwork. Tumbling training involves trampolines, spring floors and various instructional mats.
Athletes begin by learning forward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, and progress to back handsprings, tucks, and full twisting lay-outs among other advanced skills. Unlike gymnastics, we consider a back handspring a basic skill and progress tumblers at a quicker rate than a traditional gymnastics class.
How is cheerleading at Arizona All-Stars Force different from dance classes?
