Teams – Cheer Zone

HALF SEASON PROGRAM

The Half Season Program is not a recreational cheer program. It is a serious, competitive team sport and should be taken seriously. It encompasses the beginning, intermediate, and prep levels of our all star program, with less time commitment and expense than our Full Season Program.

Our Half Season Program is designed to work around spring and summer sports by running from August – January. Half Season teams will compete in the Novice or Prep division depending on the team they make at tryouts. They practice once a week to perfect their routine to perform at the CZA Showcase and 3 local competitions.

NOVICE

Designed for athletes who have limited or no cheer experience and are interested in challenging themselves in a more challenging environment than recreational classes. Practices 1x a week for 1 hour.

NOVICE ADVANCED

Designed for athletes who may have some tumbling or stunt experience and are interested in challenging themselves more than the Novice tier allows. This tier is perfect for athletes who have advanced past the regular novice requirements but need additional experience before progressing to Prep. Practices 1x a week for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

PREP

Designed for athletes who have experience with routine elements (tumbling, jumps, stunts, etc) and are searching for a more competitive way to perform than the Novice or Novice Advanced tiers. Prep challenges athletes who have their skills but may need a little assistance with their technique and confidence before moving to our Full Season Program. Practices 1x a week for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

FULL SEASON PROGRAM

The Full Season Program is the highest level of commitment for our competitive all star teams. This program is designed for athletes who have extensive cheer experience and are looking for a competitive environment that challenges them to train and perform at a higher level than the Half Season Program. This means practicing and competing more frequently than the Half Season Program.

ELITE

Our full season program is the ultimate mix of athleticism and competition. We strive to help each athlete grow in their skill sets while contributing to their team. The competitions for full season teams are intense and almost a year-round commitment.

Athletes in this program practice June-March while attending local competitions with the intent to receive an end-ofseason bid to the Allstar World Championships in Orlando, FL. Practices 2x a week for 1.5 hours along with a mandatory all star tumbling class for 1 hour each week.
