Cheerleading is a competition sport that involves boys and girls preforming a 2 minute 30 second routine composed of tumbling, stunting, pyramids, dance and cheer segments. This routine is preformed and scored against other competitive teams at verious local, regional, and worldwide competitions.

When we refer to tumbling, we mean gymnastic type skill like cartwheel and back handsprings. Stunting refers to a group of two or more individuals that elevate another cheerleader in the air. This also includes coed stunting that may only include one base and one flyer. Pyramids are a form of stunting, but are done as a large group and are interconnected. Dance is a portion of a routine that consist of choreographed high energy dance moves. Lastly, the cheer portion is a part of the routine that team members preform precise coordinated motions while chanting a gym cheer.

The main difference between high school cheer and all star cheer is that high school cheerleading team's primary purpose is to support a local school's sports team and keep the crowd excited. An all star team preforms purely for the challenge, thrill, and competition of the sport. Other differences include all star cheerlead are not required to be from the same school or area, and in many cases the skill set required for all star is much more difficult.
