We are SO excited to announce the newest members of Gem City’s All-Star Cheer squads for the 2025–2026 season! After an incredible day of tryouts on Saturday, May 10, we’re blown away by the hard work, energy, and talent shown by every athlete who came out.
What a season it’s been— and what a story to tell! After an incredible showing at the 2025 US Finals in Myrtle Beach on April 5, our Senior Elite Level 2 squad was originally announced as silver medalists. But as we recently found out: that wasn’t the end of the story.
Our youth all-star squad, the Gem City Diamonds, competed at the US FINALS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in Des Moines, Iowa on April 12, securing an impressive 5th Place finish! The team not only achieved HIT ZERO deductions but also earned their HIGHEST SCORE OF THE SEASON.
UPDATE: Our 2024-2025 Senior Elite Level 2 Squad are indeed the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS at the 2025 US Finals!
Both of Gem City’s All-Star Cheer Squads are preparing to take the national stage! After months of dedication and determination, these talented athletes are ready to showcase their skills.
Whether you’re an all-star cheer veteran and would just like some extra practice time or you’ve never done anything “cheer” in your life, come and workout with us!
All Star cheer tryouts for Gem City’s 2025-2026 season will take place on Saturday, May 10 for Gem City’s Level 1 and Level 2 Elite squads. The tryout is available for all skill levels and ages 7 to 18.
Gem City’s All Star Cheer Squads competed at a two day competition in Kansas City at the Athletic Championships on March 1-2! With this two day event, 25% of the first day’s scores carry over to day two, so day two is very important! Phoenix brought home 4th place, hitting zero on day two and even upping their score from day one to day two by a whole point! The Diamonds also earned 4th place!
Gem City’s cheer squads competed in Peoria on February 15 for Jamfest! The Phoenix (level 2 elite senior squad) earned 3rd Place while the Diamonds (level 1 elite youth squad) earned 6th Place!
Despite bad weather, the Gem City Phoenix (Senior Squad) and the Diamonds (Youth Squad) both earned first place at Next Level Midwest Nationals! The Diamonds HIT ZERO with no major deductions.
