Semi-Competitive Program

Our Semi-Competitive program is one of Cheer Geelong’s competitive Programs.

The Semi-Comp Program is a great way to ease into the competitive stream with the following benefits;

Age Groups

Cheer Geelong follows the IASF Cheerleading age groups for cheer and dance. For the development and success of the club and individual athletes, we aim to keep athletes in the youngest age group possible, however when/if we feel necessary, we will put athletes in older age groups if there isn’t an appropriate team for them in their most suitable age group / level. Many athletes think that being up an age group is of benefit to them, however we try to remind them that you wouldn’t want to race against the U15’s when you were only 8, as they would have an unfair advantage. We need to consider the age of the teams we compete against, rather than the idea of athletes wanting to train with ‘the big kids!’.

Level Guidelines

Below is a basic guideline of the skills that we work to execute in our Cheer Levels. Athletes will continue to train higher level skills throughout the year, however for the safety & success of our athletes/teams only perfected skills can be choreographed into routines. 

Classes

Cheer  Competitive Cheer combines Stunting, Tumbling, Jumps & Dance all in one visually exciting and choreographed routine. Within the required training hours athletes have dedicated time to both learning routines, and working individual skills.	Pom Competitive Pom is a Jazz based dance style incorporating arm motions, flexibility, turns, leaps & lifts. The pom scoresheet puts a focus on synchronization, visual effects, formations and performance. Pom routines are choreographed to fast paced, energetic music.	Hip Hop Competitive hip-hop training consists of learning the latest popular style of Hip Hop choreography, tricks/ lifts, fitness and strength. Our Hip Hop teams learn energetic and unique routines, and wear street style costumes to compete in throughout the year.	Lyrical Lyrical is a modern style of dance, where dancers aim to tell a story through their movement. Lyrical routines often incorporate leaps, kicks, turns, flexibility, and lifts. The scoresheet for Lyrical encourages strong dance technique, fluid movement & performance.
