Gem City’s nationally ranked all-star cheer program will soon hold tryouts for the 2026–2027 season. We’re fielding a Level 1 Elite squad (ages 7–15) and a Level 2 Elite squad (ages 12–18). Both are co-ed and neither requires prior cheer experience, but there are minimum skill requirements, and tryouts are competitive.
