Utah Fusion All-Stars Information Packet | Page 2

Fusion All-Stars is now entering it’s 9th season in the All-Star Cheer World. We are pleased to announce that we are now meeting the needs of cheerleaders all ages (3-18 yrs) and all levels (beginning thru advanced). The Fusion All-Stars have won many National Titles, received bids and attended The Cheerleading Worlds 2013, 2014, 2015 and The Summit 2013, 2015, and have grown into one of the top cheerleading programs in Utah. All-Star Cheer Teams are typically comprised of 15-32 athletes performing a 2.5 minute routine for a panel of judges. Routines contain tumbling, stunting, jumping, and dance. Teams are divided into age divisions (ex. youth, junior, senior) and ability levels (ex. Lv.1 beginner thru Lv. 5, advanced). This helps give all the teams equal opportunity for success at competitions against teams of their same age and level. Fusion All-Stars is not just about cheerleading, but about creating an experience that will be a positive influence on our athletes for the rest of their lives. The owner and coaches at Fusion teach our athletes respect, commitment, and dedication. All-Star cheer is a great way for young athletes to learn new skills while learning the importance of teamwork, goal setting, and sportsmanship; and most importantly, making lasting friendships. Please read through this packet as you will find important information regarding the upcoming 2015-16 Fusion All-Star Season. If you have any questions once reading through packet, please don’t hesitate to email at [email protected]. Tryouts are not stressful or intimidating. We try to make it a fun time for the cheerleaders. Our coaches will evaluate each athlete’s tumbling, jumping, and flexibility skills. We evaluate in groups, so there is no need to fear being “singled out.” We also encourage everyone to do their skills as many times as they need until they are satisfied with their tryout. Everyone is placed on a team... don’t stress! After tryouts, we make our initial summer team placements. We believe in placing athletes on teams where they will be successful, not only in their skills, but socially as well. We BELIEVE every team at Fusion is important. Parents/athletes should trust that we are placing athletes with the appropriate team. EVERY athlete is IMPORTANT! We understand that many athletes will be working hard over the summer to reach certain tumbling and skill goals. Those athletes who put in the extra effort over the summer, taking full advantage of our tumbling camps, flying clinics, and private lessons, typically find themselves advancing to other teams after the summer. Final team placements will be decided in August. We want you to feel like Fusion is the place for you! Please take advantage of the tryout experience to really make sure this program is for you. All-star cheerleading is a huge commitment, both physically and with your time. We want every athlete and family to feel like they are a part of the Fusion Family.
