All Star FUNdamentals is the first stop for kids who are interested in All Star cheer to start developing a foundation for their skills. The focus is to welcome new athletes to All Star and making sure they have fun, feel safe, and make friends! This program was developed by the USASF and is a fun, low-pressure, non-competitive, technique centered progressional path for first-time cheer athletes to learn about All Star. This will prepare them to transition to our team programs if they choose, and as they are ready.
Classes for 2022-2023 are open to girls and boys with birth years 2010-2019 (must be at least 3 years old) and are divided primarily by age, but also skill level and previous experience where necessary. During the class, they will work on specific skills in the following areas from the All Star FUNdamentals curriculum: motions/dance, jumps, stunting, tumbling, transitions/formations, and conditioning. They will learn how to put all of those skills to counts and will learn an entire routine to perform at the end of the term. Classes will also include a short fun activity at the end, skill achievement charting, and a character building component.
The class is offered 3 times a year - Fall/Winter, Spring, & Summer. Athletes will attend an evaluation day the first week where they can try out the class, and it also gives our staff an opportunity to assess their skill level. They will then be placed into the class group best suited for their age and skill level. Classes are offered on Mondays 4:30-5:30pm and Wednesdays 5:00-6:00pm, with two age groups each night. You have the ability to provide your preference on which day works best, but it is ideal if your athlete is available for either day to allow us the ability to place each athlete in the class most suitable for their age, plus skill and experience level.
After the initial evaluation week, there will then be 10 additional weeks of classes, plus a showcase day where they perform their routine for family and friends, for a total of 12 classes. We recommend that athletes complete 1 or 2 terms FUNdamentals and then transition to our teams, or to a cheer tumbling class if they are not interested or ready for a team program.
