Rockstar Cheer is the most successful athle�c program of its type in South Carolina serving the top

compe��ve cheer athletes in the area. Entering our 7th season Rockstar has over 200 Na�onal Titles and

is s�ll the only program in the state with World Championship Medals (2 Silver & 2 Bronze). Considered

one of the top programs in the en�re country in cheer, Rockstar will now enter the world of dance. This

season we’re proud to announce Rockstar Dance!

The success could not be achieved without an amazing staff. Working for Rockstar Cheer is

considered a huge honor among cheer professionals in the industry. Our reputa�on and talent level of

our athletes make this one of the most sought-a1er places to work in cheer & dance. While pushing our

athletes to be the very best, we take pride in offering the safest environment possible. Our mature and

experienced USASF cer�fied coaches are passionate and professional about their jobs. From the moment

you join you will experience the Rockstar treatment!

The most direct way that we help the athletes in our program is by improving their skills and

helping them reach their athle�c poten�al, but we believe our program serves a higher purpose.

Throughout their lives, everyone will be put in situa�ons where they must work together with others to

achieve common goals. Life lessons such as work ethic, responsibility, accountability and teamwork help

build character. No other sport builds self-esteem for youth than all-star cheerleading. The hours, weeks,

months, even years of work that go into improving stunts, tumbling, jumps, and mo�ons will improve

your fitness and skills. More importantly, athletes learn about sportsmanship, working together towards

goals, and striving to win. Besides the success of our program on the mat, we are most proud of the life

lessons that we have been able to give to the athletes at Rockstar Cheer!

FAMILYFAMILYFAMILY

FIRST CLASS FACILITY

In addi�on to our world class staff and Rockstar athletes, we

have one the top facili�es in the Southeast. Our facility allows the

athletes to safely train in air-condi�oned comfort during the hot

summers. Using the latest training equipment and technology Rockstar

cuts no corners. Parents & siblings have a dedicated viewing area

where they may watch prac�ces, satellite TV or enjoy our free wi-fi

connec�on. We also have a Rockstar Lounge for the athletes to study,

watch TV or enjoy snacks and refreshments.

PHILOSOPHY

When you tryout at Rockstar, you are accep�ng a spot in the

Rockstar program. Rockstar is a family of teams; therefore, we run our

teams as one program-one family. We choose our teams so the

program comes first, the team comes second, and the individual third.

We would love for each team to have a full squad of athletes with the

maximum tumbling skills allowed for that level. Unfortunately, that is

not the reality in some instances. For example, while your athlete may

be a Level 4 tumbler, this doesn’t equate being placed on a Level 4

team. Your athlete may not be a level 4 jumper, stunter or dancer. We

must choose our teams according to bases, backspots and flyers,

which make up the stunt groups. All teams must have stunt group

combina�ons that will give each team the proper amount of stunt

groups. At Rockstar, our instructors teach: PERFECTION before

PROGRESSION. This approach has allowed us to be very successful on

the Na�onal Level.

CONFIDENCECONFIDENCECONFIDENCE

We try to make our prac�ces and compe��ons fun,

rewarding, and produc�ve. We aAempt to create a posi�ve

learning environment at Rockstar. We also push the athletes

to be the best they can be. We set goals as a team and

individuals while teaching accountability. We

expect our athletes to improve their

technique and progress their skills

through efficient prac�ces.

PRACTICES

In order to be compe��ve at na�onal cheerleading compe��ons, there are many extensive training

prac�ces that will develop your athlete. These prac�ces are designed to allow each athlete to grow in skill

and character. While we strive to teach each athlete the very best in all-star cheerleading, we hope to

make the experience fun, exci�ng and full of las�ng memories. We realize that summers are vaca�on

�mes for most, and we expect missed prac�ces from all athletes. If you should have a vaca�on or planned

trips that will cause you to miss a prac�ce, please make sure you contact your coach. All absences from

prac�ces must be excused by the coach. Should you get sick or have any sudden circumstance to miss a

prac�ce, you must contact your coach immediately (not the gym). If you do not call and miss a prac�ce, it

could be grounds for instant removal from the program. Remember, a team can only be successful if all

members are there and work together. Here is the prac�ce schedule for all teams:

May-October (All Youth, Junior & Senior Teams)/May-August (Mini Teams) Prac�ces start May 12th

Mandatory- 1 Team prac�ce + 1 tumbling class or school prac�ce per week (Can take more classes-Op�onal)

November-April (All Youth, Junior & Senior Teams)/Sept-April (Mini Teams) Prac�ces start Nov 3rd

Mandatory– 2 Team prac�ces per week (Can take more classes-Op�onal)

Star�ng immediately a�er tryouts, all athletes will prac�ce in Level Specific Groups. Teams will be selected

some�me during the summer. We will use those prac�ces to put together stunt groups for each team.

FLIGHT SCHOOL

There will be a class taught at Rockstar for all flyers in the program. This class is called “Flight

School”. Enrollment in this class is mandatory for all flyers to aAend once weekly from June-Aug 2013.

The class will focus on intense stretching and proper body posi�ons in stunts. There is no addi�onal fee for

this class. These classes will be offered as scheduled and each flyer must be enrolled in one of those

classes. These class �mes will be available for you to enroll by the end of the 1st week of prac�ces. Please

check with the front desk a1er your 1st team prac�ce. The coaches will inform your athlete if they should

aAend this class. This doesn’t guarantee they will be a flyer on a team.
