Cheer is a physical and competitive sport wherein its athletes learn and implement jumps, dance, stunts and tumbling. They hone their skills and techniques in an effort to consistently perfect their craft and compete at various local, national and international competitions throughout the Season. Cheer focuses on flexibility, endurance, strength and coordination and is an excellent way to build self-confidence, develop friendships and set personal goals as an individual and team member.
The competitive cheer goal is to lay it all on the mat! Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a skill or a stunt, the sharper and more in-sync the motions, the better the score. Cheer is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization, first place is out of reach.
At Gems Athletics we believe in placing athletes on levels that they have mastered & can compete stress free at any given time. We strive to form competitive teams based on an athletes ENTIRE skill set. We will try to match up athletes by level as best we can while keeping in mind that stunting, pyramids, dance, motions & age are factors as well. Some will be stronger tumblers than others, some will contribute more with stunts than others. We choose our teams based on the positions that we need to fill (bases, tops, thirds, tumblers etc) in order to field the strongest teams possible.
Membership in the Gems Fundraising Club is optional open to all families in the Prep or All Star Cheer programs at Gems Athletics.
We exist as a separate entity alongside Gems Athletics to offer the opportunity to raise
money to help cushion the costs of the Cheer Season! Our registration for the Season is
open for returning athletes and anyone new to Gem Athletics this Season.
