“Zodiax Allstars” very first cheerleading teams!

Introducing….
We are thrilled to announce the very first Team selection day of our new
gym sports club “Zodiax Allstars” very first cheerleading teams!
All-star cheerleading is one of the fastest growing team based sports in Australia. It is a fast paced,
dynamic sport that encompasses stunt, tumbling, tosses and dance & requires dedication and a
strong work ethic from the male and female athletes that participate. It is as physically demanding
as any other mainstream sport that is both rewarding and teaches life skills.
Zodiax Allstars strive to promote teamwork through a positive and healthy environment that caters
for all skill levels making each athlete the best they can be through technique, conditioning, fun and
dedication and making these qualities universal through the community culture of the program.
Our program aims to be different from cheerleading already existing in South Australia in that it
will draw from other gymnastics sports alike and will use training that is offered in high
performance level sports and with this will be able to accommodate each athlete from recreational
through to high level competitive cheerleading.
Coming from a predominantly Elite Gymnastics background and being involved with Gymnastics
South Australia for the past 15 years has led into the exploration of Cheerleading, amongst other
gym sports. Through this exploration we have seen each sports success in specific areas and also
their weaknesses. For this reason our aim is to combine the success of each of these to develop and
cultivate athletes that are well rounded individuals in whatever gym sport they chose to pursue.

Information for your interest…
The modern cheerleader has to possess the strength of a football player, the
stamina of a
track runner, the agility of a gymnast & the grace of a ballerina!
All-Star, competitive Cheerleading is what most people recognize as "Bring it On /ESPN
cheerleading". All-star cheerleading has different rules and regulations from league and schoolaffiliated cheerleading because the main objective is to compete against other squads.
The teams are broken down into six levels, one being the lowest and six being the highest. A team’s
competitive level is determined by the age and ability of the team members. Teams are further
broken down into divisions based on the gender and number of athletes on the team.
The goal of competitive cheerleading is to get the highest score possible from a group of judges.
Teams compete against other teams in their own division, and the team with the highest score wins
first place.
The scoring and rules are broken down into seven main categories:
 General
 Standing
 Running
 Stunts
 Pyramids
 Dismounts
 Tosses
Each level has set guidelines for the above categories, which are used by judges to determine their
scores. Performing prohibited skills or failing to execute a skill properly can result in point
deductions.
There are also general safety guidelines and routine requirements that each team, regardless of
level, must adhere to. Routines must not exceed 2.5 minutes, and they must be performed on
padded flooring.
