All- Star Cheerleading
All-Star cheerleading requires a lot more dedication and hard work than high school cheerleading does. All-star cheerleaders practice at least 3 times a week for 3 hours or more. Some girls drive over 2 hours to get to their gyms. All-star cheerleaders tumble on a much greater level and do more sophisticated stunts. All-Star cheerleaders have many different divisions, such as:
Large level 5: 30-36 members
Medium Level 5: 21-29 members
Small Level 5: 15-20 members
Level 5 is the hardest and highest level for competitive cheerleading. A level 4 team is much easier and less demanding than a level 5 team. Level 4 also requires talent, but the tumbling is much simpler.
Level 4 tumbling involves layouts and standing tucks; where as level 5 involves running fulls and double fulls, whip full/double full, and standing fulls. Stunting for level 4 includes ball-ups, full downs, and kick singles. Level 5 stunting involves tic-tocs, 360 and double-ups, and kick and switch kick doubles.
