High School VS. AllStars

High school cheerleading is run out of your school while all-star cheerleading is an organization at gyms that individuals run. In high school cheerleading there are around 20 to 24 girls, but on an all-star team there are much more. You have to try out for both teams but there is a lot more to all-star tryouts. In high school you learn a short dance, cheer, and chant and then you have to do your jumps. But in all-stars you learn a harder dance and you have to tumble and do your jumps. All-stars is also a lot more money, it can be a couple thousand dollars where high school coast about eight hundred dollars. But you get more for the money you pay with all-stars. In all-stars you go to about 6 competitions and you have a hardcore cheerleading camp to learn your entire routine in a couple of days. Then you keep practicing it for about 6 months until you go to your first competition. In high school you still go to camp but it’s with a bunch of other teams. We learn new cheer and dances and even new stunts. High school cheerleading can go to competitions but they usually just cheer at the football games on Friday night, and once football season is over we have to cheer for basketball.  In high school we try out in April and practice a little throughout the summer until camp in about June. Then once we get back we have practice every Wednesday and Thursday and then game on Fridays. In all-stars its pretty much the same but they have tryouts then they have their camp then they practice two days a week every week. The main goal for high school cheerleading it to pump up the crowd and get the schools spirit up. In high school the ages are from 9^th grade to 12^th grade and in all-stars they are about 4 to the age of 18 unless they have an adult team. In high school they are varsity, junior varsity, and sometimes freshman. But in all-stars there are many different divisions depending on the age group and skill levels. All in all there are a lot of similarities and differences between high school cheerleading and all-star cheerleading.
