What Is Elite All-star?
The all-star squads are placement teams for girls with tryouts that will take place in May. The girls that are on these squads can also tryout and cheer for any of the middle school squads. The teams will compete approximately six times throughout the year, including a National competition which will be out of state. Younger squads will have a shorter season and will not go out of state. Practices start in July and run about 2-3 times a week throughout the season. Practices are held on Mondays and Wednesday and also some Fridays. The squads will periodically cheer at Flames home football games.
This year, in addition to our Youth Squad (6th grade and under) and our Junior Squads (9th grade and under), we will be introducing a Senior Squad for grades 12 and under (participants must be at least 11 years old).
What will this cost?
Registration is $300 plus Elite uniform. There is a monthly fee of $85 per month from July to the end of the season. Your registration and monthly fees help pay for gym costs, professional choreography, competition costs, etc.
Fundraising
Several squad and individual fundraisers are done throughout the season. Squad fundraising is to help with team expenses. Individual fundraising is to help offset costs of Nationals (travel expenses, competition fee, hotel expenses, etc.). Individual fundraising is optional.
When are tryouts?
Tryouts will be on three separate days. Monday, May 4th & Wednesday May 6th from 4:30-6:00 for grades 5 and under, and from 6:30-8:00 p.m. for grades 6 and up. The last day of try-outs, Friday, May 8th is for ALL AGES from 4:00-7:00 p.m. All tryout dates will be held at USGTC in Lake Zurich.
Mandatory Overnight Cheer Camp
The older squads will be attending an away camp July 19-21 at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. Younger squads will have a camp held closer to home. This camp is mandatory. Cost is approximately $360 plus apparel (camp uniforms, warm-ups, shoes, socks, briefs, bows, make-up, bags).
