HALF YEAR TEAMS program

• TINY EXHIBITION
• MINI NOVICE 
• ALL STAR PREP 

Our Tiny Exhibition team is designed for athletes ages 3–4. This is where our youngest athletes begin learning the foundations of cheerleading. Most importantly, this program creates a fun and positive first experience in cheerleading where our youngest athletes can discover just how fun the sport can be.

Athletes perform a 1 minute and 30 second routine, where they are introduced to motions, jumps, and beginner-level stunting. At this level, we focus on teaching athletes structure, listening skills, and how to follow directions in a team setting.

And we can promise you — you won’t see a cuter routine than that of our Tiny Exhibition team!

• 1 Practice per week in the Fall (1.5 hours total)
• 3 Local Competitions

Our Tiny & Mini Evaluation and Novice teams are where we teach our young athletes the fundamentals of All Star cheerleading. This is where athletes ages 4–7 truly begin their cheer careers with us.

At this level, we focus on creating a fun, supportive, and positive learning environment where athletes can start building their skills, confidence, and love for the sport.

This program serves as the first step in the NJP growth pathway, helping our young athletes develop strong fundamentals as they begin their cheerleading journey.

• 2 Practices per week in the Fall (3-4 hours total; 1 hour being Tumbling)
• 3 Local Competitions
• End of Season Events: US Finals 

Our All Star Prep teams are treated just like our Elite teams.

Prep teams are an important part of our NJP growth pathway. These teams are designed to help athletes level up, develop new skills, and gain experience at the next level in preparation for transitioning into our Elite program the following season.

This structure allows athletes to build confidence, strengthen fundamentals, and continue progressing within the NJP program as they work toward competing at the Elite level. 

• 2 Practices per week in the Fall (4 hours total, 1 hour being Tumbling)
• 3 Local Competitions
• End of Season Events: US Finals 

Half Year Team Evaluations are conducted in November. The Half Year Season runs from  December through April.
