Competitive

Blast your inner strength.

The TNT Cheer Competitive All Star Cheer program teaches athletes self-control, self-discipline, respect, athleticism and dynamite speed.

Evaluations

We do not hold traditional “tryouts” as we have a team for EVERYONE at TNT Cheer regardless of experience or skills.  For those who are interested in joining TNT Cheer’s All Star program, a required evaluation will be held to determine the proper team placement and ensure your athlete is on a team that offers them the most success. This is also an opportunity for you and your athlete to ensure TNT Cheer is the right fit for your family.

Evaluations for 2021-2022 All Star Elite Cheer (full year competitive teams) were held in May with practices beginning May 17th and going through April 2nd.  For current information on All Star Elite for the 2021-2022 season, please visit our 2021-2022 All Star Elite Handbook.  Evaluations for 2021-2022 All Star Prep Cheer (half year competitive teams) were held in August with practices beginning August 29th and going through April 2nd.  For current information on All Star Prep for the 2021-2022 season, please visit our 2021-2022 All Star Prep Handbook.  If you are interested in joining All Star Elite or Prep for the 2022-2023 season, please contact TNT by email at info@tntcheer.org to be put on our contact list.
