All-Star cheerleading is a competitive, team-based program where athletes train in stunting, tumbling, jumps, and performance while competing at local, regional, and national events. Empire Athletics offers multiple All-Star pathways designed to meet athletes where they are—from first-time competitors to elite-level athletes—allowing families to choose the level of commitment and competitive intensity that best fits their goals.
