Cheer has two main components – sideline and competitive/ Allstar. Sideline cheer focuses on cheering for teams. Skills include spiriting (chants to fire up the team/fans), jumps, stunting, and tumbling. Sideline cheer is on turf or hard floor, so tumbling skills may be more limited, except for at the highest levels.

Competitive Cheer/ Allstar Cheer was born from sideline cheer and evolved into a routine using the skills derived from sideline cheer. Routines are performed on a spring floor, so the tumbling skills are typically performed at a much higher level of difficulty than for sideline cheer. Stunting, jumps and dance are major components of each routine. Many teams train year-round and the competition season starts in late fall and runs through the end of spring.

All 4 offers classers to expose and train cheerleaders in basic skills and to help prepare cheerleaders focused on sideline cheer make school teams. In addition, All 4 has teams for those with no experience all the way up to Elite travel teams that compete at national competitions against the best teams in the country.  CLICK HERE to get an overview of the Cheer classes and teams offered.
