At Five Star Athletics, All Star Cheer is a year-round sport built to have something for every athlete, whatever their age, experience, or goals. Rather than traditional sideline cheering, our competitive routines combine stunting, tumbling, jumps, and dance into one high-energy 2 1/2 minute performance. We are proud to be one of the only programs in Northern Nevada to consistently offer teams from Level 1 all the way to Worlds Level 6, so there is always a path forward as your athlete grows. Every program below represents a different level of commitment, from an 8-week introductory session all the way to a year-round, Worlds-bound Premier team.
