Real-Time Feedback, Real Growth
At North Star, we believe in transparency and athlete development. We share judges’ feedback, celebrate scoring improvements, and provide real-time analysis to help our athletes grow. We don’t just focus on placements—we focus on progress. Our goal is to improve performance at every event, building toward the most competitive end-of-season results possible.
Results That Matter
All-Star cheerleading is an investment—both in time and finances. If you’re going to invest in your athlete’s cheer journey, why not choose a program that consistently delivers results? At North Star Athletics, our track record speaks for itself. The majority of our teams place in the top three at competitions, Summit Finalist and strong finishes at the most prestigious events in the sport. Cheerleading is expensive—so why settle for a program where results and growth aren’t prioritized?
Unlike gyms that split their focus across multiple programs, North Star Athletics is fully dedicated to All-Star cheerleading. Our entire facility, staff, and resources are focused solely on training competitive cheerleaders, allowing us to provide a level of coaching, athlete development, and strategic training that isn’t possible in programs where cheerleading is just one of many offerings. At North Star, every practice, every skill progression, and every decision is made with the singular goal of helping our athletes grow and succeed in All-Star cheer.
Safety, Certification, and Industry Standards
We are proud to be a USASF and Varsity-affiliated program—a distinction that prioritizes athlete safety and ensures that our coaching staff meets the highest standards. Every coach, gym owner, and anyone in a position of power at North Star Athletics undergoes a background check and maintains USASF certification. Many other competitions and organizations do not have these requirements, meaning anyone can coach without the same level of oversight. When choosing a gym, it’s important to consider who is leading the program and whether they are held to the highest safety and ethical standards.
If you’re looking for a cheerleading program where athletes are truly developed, results matter, and safety is a priority, North Star Athletics is the right choice.
