Our Level 1 Cheer Class focuses on fundamental floor acrobatics necessary for cheerleading, including strength training, flexibility, and proper technique.

In a basic cheer tumbling class, students work toward mastering the following essential skills:

Forward and backward rolls: Students practice rolling their bodies in a controlled, fluid motion. This teaches body control and introduces the sensation of going upside down.

Handstands: The handstand is a foundational skill that builds upper body strength, core engagement, and balance. Drills may involve wall walks or spotting.

Cartwheels: This involves kicking the legs over the body in a sideways motion while supporting weight on the hands. Students are taught proper hand and foot placement for form and control.

Round-offs: A variation of a cartwheel, the round-off is a critical power-generating move that ends with the feet together, preparing the tumbler for backward skills.

Bridges and backbends: These skills build spinal flexibility and shoulder strength, which are vital for performing backward tumbling.

Bridge kickovers: Once a student can hold a strong bridge, they learn to kick over from the bridge position to land on their feet.

Front and back walkovers: These skills combine the flexibility of a bridge with a handstand to create a fluid, controlled pass over the head. 

The Mini-Finity Cheer Pre-Team is the next step after the Level 1 Cheer Class. In our pre-team All-Star cheer class, athletes learn the foundational skills and techniques needed for competitive cheerleading in a low-pressure, technique-focused setting. The program is designed to bridge the gap between recreational cheerleading and the higher commitment of competitive teams.

Our Infinity Cheer Diamonds and Lady Paragons All Star Cheer squads are at the top of our cheer program!

A Level 1 All-Star cheer team is an entry-level team focused on building foundational skills, including basic tumbling like cartwheels and walkovers, and simple stunts with flyers on two legs.

A Level 2 team progresses to include back and front handsprings, more complex stunting with extended two-legged stunts and single-legged stunts at prep level, and straight-ride basket tosses. The primary difference is that Level 2 builds upon the fundamentals of Level 1 by introducing more difficult skills and combinations.

Level 1 All-Star Cheer Team

Skill Focus: This is the beginner level, emphasizing the mastering of fundamental techniques. 

Tumbling: Athletes perform basic skills such as cartwheels, round-offs, forward and backward rolls, and walkovers. 

Stunting: Stunts involve flyers lifted to a knee or waist-level on one leg or a two-footed prep. 

Pyramids: Flyers are allowed to be lifted on two legs at an extended level, with bracing from other flyers on prep level or below. 

Basket Tosses: Not yet included at this level.

Level 2 All-Star Cheer Team

Skill Focus: Teams build on Level 1 skills, increasing the difficulty and introducing more advanced techniques. 

Tumbling: Athletes execute back and front handsprings, and can connect Level 1 tumbling into a handspring. 

Stunting: Includes two-legged stunts at an extended level, and single-legged stunts at prep level without a brace. 

Pyramids: Flyers are permitted to do half-twisting movements to extended two-legged stunts and prep-level one-legged stunts. 

Basket Tosses: Straight-ride basket tosses are allowed, where the flyer doesn't perform any skill in the air.
