All-star Cheerleading

Like I have been saying, all-star cheerleading is way different than high school cheerleading. When your on an all-star team it doesn't have anything to do with your school, it is something that you want to go and do on your own. All-stars is out of a private gym and there are thousands of them all over the world. I am on an all-star team that is out of West Bridgewater, MA, and it is about 20 minutes away from my house. Since I have been at this gym we have been to The Cheerleading worlds 4 years in a row. The Cheerleading Worlds is the biggest competition in the all-star world. I have been doing alls-stars since i was in 7th grade and I absolutely love it! But one downfall is that at one of my practices I was tumbling and tore my ACL going into my sophomore year of high school, which kind of sucked because I couldn't cheer for 8 months. I was out half the season for high school and all star cheering. Being on an all-star team helped me get back to my skill level after i tore my ACL because I could go there whenever I wanted to and work out. I wouldn't have to wait until high school practices and since I was on two team I had double the practices of mostly everyone. That helped me get better and stronger faster. Most people on high school teams do all-stars as well. At one point about 17 out of 20 people on my high school team were on some kind of all star team. All-stars allows you to become friends with people from different towns and be on teams with people just as good as you that you might not even know. All-stars for me has made me a more well rounded and determined person.


This is a link of my all-star team at a competition, I dont know if you will be able to see it since its on facebook.
