Procheer (All-Star Cheerleading)
All-Star Cheerleading is a competitive and intense sport highlighting the skills of cheerleaders through tumbling, stunting, and dance. These athletes will practice June – April and attend tryouts in May every year. The competitive season runs from January – April and requires some travel. Teams will compete in the Atlanta area as well as at two overnight competitions often taking place in locations such as Florida or Tennessee. All practices and competitions are mandatory. Athletes learn to tumble, stunt, and perform at an elite skill level as they progress through the 6 levels of all-stars. This is a great opportunity for athletes to learn how to work as a team member and be coached by some of the best in the business. Teams experience the grind of pulling together when the going gets tough, but they also experience the victories and celebrations throughout the year during the various social activities offered to promote team bonding. Come be a Pro!
