Louisiana Heat - Where The Elite Train

All Star Competitive Cheer

REGISTRATION OPENS MAY 2026 

All-star cheer divisions are structured by both skill level (Levels 1-7, including Novice, Prep, and Elite tiers) and age (Tiny, Mini, Youth, Junior, Senior, Open) to ensure fair and safe competition. The United States All Star Federation (USASF) governs these divisions, which categorize teams based on their athletes' combined age and the complexity of skills they can perform, like tumbling and stunting. 

A team for everybody!

Don't miss out on another year with us!  Come join our amazing family and wonderful world of competitive cheer!

ELITE TEAMS

 

ELITE TEAMS are for those athletes with experience in cheer or tumbling who are looking for the next step in the competition cheer world. These athletes range anywhere from ages 7-18+ depending on previous experience. These athletes have their level well executed. Currently we offer elite teams in levels 1-3.

These teams aim to master skills over the season and be highly competitive at competitions in their respective level in both tumbling and stunting.

Please reference the USASF age grid (found at USASF.net) for divisions offered and please reference level appropriate skills for stunts and tumbling via the united scoring system (found on varsityallstar.com). Please note not all athletes placed on certain levels will have the same skills. Some will excel in tumbling to be placed on a certain level, some can be placed due to their excellence and strengths in stunting, and/or some athletes (most athletes) will excel in both. **Having certain tumbling skills (and/or certain stunting skills) does not guarantee placement on a particular level. Each athlete is evaluated individually at tryouts and placed on a team they would benefit the most.

Several times athletes and teams require longer evaluations which can extend into the summer months June and/or July before final placement are made.

Elite teams practice 1.5-2 hours twice a week and will participate in approximately 6-8 competitions throughout the season (locally and nationally).

Participants are evaluated on motions, jumps, tumbling, and/or dance skills, then placed accordingly. Practice typically starts in June and continues through April. Competition season begins in November ending in April or May.

During November-May, teams will attend approximately 6-8 competitions, both local and out of state.  All competitions are usually held on the weekends (Saturday and/or Sunday and/or Friday/Monday for large national and worlds competitions). 

Each Elite team, regardless of level or age, practice a total of three hours per week.  Two Practices total - One and a half hours practices during the week and/or two hours on Sunday for our older teams.  This does not include any extra or extended practices that are added before competitions. We have a separate schedule for the summer, both are held on weeknights, with no weekends.

PREP TEAMS

 

Our PREP TEAMS also serve as an introduction to all star cheer but is directed to those slightly older beginner athletes (age ranging from 6-10) either just being exposed to the sport or to those with some experience but not ready to move to an elite prep team or an elite team. These athletes may need more experience in stunting and/or stunting execution, tumbling and/or tumbling execution, and/ or routine performance as a whole.

We currently offer prep teams in level 1. This program introduces and aims to master level 1 skills over the season including:

Tumbling (cartwheel, round off, handstand front roll, back roll, back bend kick overs, back/front walkovers and learning to connect those skills), level 1 stunts & pyramids, jumps (toe touch and pike), dance, and overall routine performance.

Prep teams have less financial commitment than our elite prep teams and elite program also including less travel and competitions but a step more than our novice teams. Prep teams practice 1.5 hours a week and will attend 4-5 competitions in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and/or Mississippi areas.

ELITE PREP TEAMS are for those athletes with experience in cheer or tumbling who are looking for the next step in the competition cheer world. These athletes generally range anywhere from ages 6-12 depending on previous experience.

These athletes typically have their level well executed. Currently we offer elite prep teams in levels 1 and 2. These teams aim to master skills over the season and be competitive at competitions in their respective level including:

Level 1 - Tumbling (cartwheels, round offs, back bend kick overs, back/front walkovers, switch kick back walkovers, valdez, and connected skills), advanced level 1 stunts & pyramids, jumps, dance, and overall routine performance.

NOVICE TEAMS

 

Want a fun way to enter into the world of competitive cheer? Our Novice Allstar cheer program is for you! This program is directed towards our younger athletes ages 3-6 (tiny novice) and 6-8 (mini novice) and/or those younger athletes with little to no previous cheer or tumbling experience.

Our Novice program introduces young/new athletes at a beginner level to the basics of cheerleading including:

Tiny novice: Tumbling (cartwheel & front/ back roll), floor stunts and pyramids that introduce flyers and bases to correct positions, jumps (toe touch and/or tuck jump), dance, and how to learn and perform a routine.

Mini novice: Tumbling (cartwheel, handstand, round off, back bend and kick over, back/front walkover), level 1 stunts & pyramids with restrictions, jumps (toe touch and/or pike), dance, and routine performance.

Novice teams have minimal financial commitment, generally practice 1 hour a week, and have 3-4 competitions in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Biloxi areas. These teams are a great way to introduce cheer and get those younger athletes to begin to learn the sport.
