Join the Hi-Flyers All-Star Cheer Family! Whether you’re just starting your cheer journey or you’re ready to take your skills to the next level, there is a place for you at Hi-Flyers. We are looking for athletes with a positive attitude, a coachable spirit, and a heart for teamwork. Our Philosophy: We believe that the right attitude is the foundation of a great athlete. We "select" for character and train for skill. If you have the drive to learn and a great support system at home, we have a spot for you! A Committed Competition Sport: All-Star cheerleading is a team-based, competitive sport that relies on every single member. Attendance is our number one priority. Because every athlete has a specific role in the routine, the team cannot progress without everyone present. We are looking for families who are ready to commit to the season and athletes who are dedicated to their team's success! How Placements Work: We will be forming multiple teams this season. While everyone will be placed on a team, athletes demonstrating higher-level tumbling skills will be placed on our higher-level teams. We prioritize technique over difficulty; we would much rather see a "clean" Level 1 skill with pointed toes than a "shaky" Level 2 skill. Skill Levels at a Glance: Level 1 (High-Flyers Dream): Master the basics! Focus on Forward/Backward Rolls, Cartwheels, Round-offs, and Front/Back Walkovers, "working" back handsprings, arial drills, etc. Level 2 (High-Flyers Starlight): Adding power! Focus on connected back walkovers, back handsprings, and round-off back handsprings. Already has the skills down and working towards the next set of skills. Level 3 (High-Flyers Elite): Taking flight! Focus on Series Handsprings, Round-off Back Handspring Tucks, aerials and flips! Please only choose ONE tryout time for your age slot. Evaluation Dates & Times: Tuesday, April 14 4:00–5:30 PM — Ages 5–8 6:00–8:00 PM — Ages 9–15 Saturday, April 18 12:00–1:00 PM — Ages 5–8 1:30–3:00 PM — Ages 9–15 Please note: Age groups are for scheduling purposes only; final team placement is based strictly on skill and attitude. If a competitive All-Star team isn't the right fit yet, our Recreational classes are a great way to build toward next season! Come meet new friends, work with our amazing coaches, and take your skills to new levels with Hi-Flyers! 💙✨
