    I’m 17 and it’s my first year of cheer and I’m on a level 1 team and I can relate well to this video. Sometimes I’m like upset that I didn’t start cheer at a younger age but I’m also glad that I started! This video made my day. Thanks Brooke 😁

    I started Allstar cheer when I was 11 and now I’m 13. I gained all level 1 tumbling skills when I was 11 and all level two when I was 12. I grew almost 3 inches last year and now my tumbling is slower and I’m not getting any new skills. I kinda wish I started allstar at a younger age so I had more time.

    I'm 16 and started cheer a couple years ago except I have never done a round in my school's competitive cheer. My old coach never gave me a chance, then we got new coaches and they didn't put new girls in rounds. I love cheer, but I never got the chance to prove myself. I want to join all-star to prove to myself I can, I want to do all-star to get more experience. I am hoping to join all-star at some point and I hope I can.

    I started cheer when I was 12 Turing 13. I have always been so good at dancing, attitude, facials, jumps, stunting. It had always came easy to me. But tumbling was what set me off. All these girls had all these skills while I had everything but tumbling. I took tumbling classes to better me. The spring of me being thirteen I was still taking tumbling classes. I ended up getting my back tuck, back handspring, front punch, Ariel, front Ariel, and front handspring in just four classes. I was so proud of myself. Then an allstar Rec team came about and me and my best friend decided to tryout for the team because we wanted to cheer but ours moms decided it was better to not have to travel as much. We tried out and ended up both making the same team. We were ecstatic. We had so much fun on that team and ended up getting to go to Disney and winning the whole competition! I miss that team so much because it was the first team that stayed in my heart for many years after that. It was my first allstar reputation and those girls and that team just encouraged me to keep going. They will forever hold a special place in my heart. I’m now 17 and those few cheer awards scattered around my room have became the only thing you can see in my room. I have won over 50 spirit awards that take shape as banners, glasses, bows, frame awards, pins, trophy’s, and medals. I have won over 120 competitions that take shape as trophy’s, medals, rings, frames, pins, banners, shirts, bows, and the crazy amount of team pictures around my room holding up that big number 1. And overall I have won the one thing that means more than any of those awards, I have won a family and happiness because cheer is that one thing that keeps me going in life. It’s that one thing that makes me scream like a kid on a roller coaster. If you are every thinking about starting cheer please do! You won’t regret it. No matter your age or skill level it’s gonna be worth it because cheer will cheer is cheer and it’s the one thing that is beyond Exhilarating.

    I need some advice. This is my first season of competitive cheer and I just turned 14. I absolutely love it! I am on a level 2 team ( My gym is a small Christian gym with only 1-3 teams and a team for 6 year olds ) because I can’t do a back tuck and can almost do a back handspring. I love my team mates and my coaches even though the season just started lol. My problem is that i don’t know what I want to do next year. I would like to just do competitive cheer again but it’s expensive and very stressful with school and hw (I barely have time to finish hw) but I love it so much. My other option is high school cheer which looks fun and I could probably join a competitive version while still doing sideline cheer but it wouldn’t push me as much because the varsity team is doing what my level 2 team does. There’s more too it but I wrote so much lol just anyone who wants to give advice go ahead

    I’m 14 and I’m worried I’m not as skilled because I can’t do a back handspring. But I really want to do cheer

    I’m a hater on the Junior age range. 5-14!? Like that’s 9 years, every other age group is 7 or less. I feel like if you want to be a Flyer but you’re to old on a junior team, they should just make a different age range. It should be at least 7-14 or 7-13 because it makes stunts different and it looks not in sync. But all my opinion
