1 ALL STAR PREP. FUN WITHOUT THE TRAVEL, HALF YEAR CHEER TEAMS!

2 GREETINGS FROM OUR OWNERS! Dear Parents & Athletes, We are excited for season eleven at Tristate Athletics, as we go into our second full-season as owners. We are prepared along with our staff to continue to build on the past success while working to exceed all expectations. Beginning a new season is always an exciting, sometimes intimidating, and fun process. We want to ensure that everyone is fully taken care of as a customer of Tristate Athletics in the 2018/2019 season. All athletes will be under the direction of the highly qualified staff and will be taught the Tristate way of cheerleading. Each athlete will have the opportunity to meet new friends, compete at local events (with our Full Year Competitive teams) at a fraction of the cost! Remember, there are many key elements that go into forming a new team at Tristate. Keep in mind that Tristate Athletics teams are created to compete at the highest level locally, regionally, and nationally. While tumbling is an important part of all star cheerleading, it is not the only factor used in determining an athletes/teams size and level. We are very aware that each athlete needs to be an asset in some facet to generate team success. Cheerleading at Tristate Athletics for many (especially for Tiny aged athletes) is the start of an athlete s love of the sport! We re excited to be the home of the state s most competitive cheerleading athletes, and we know you re going to love it here! We hope you are as excited as we are! We cannot wait to see the new faces in the program! 1 GYM. 1 GOAL. 1 BIG BLUE FAMILY, Brad Gilbert & Scott Ralph, Owners REGISTER ONLINE PRE-REGISTER ONLINE* SEASON PRACTICE BEGINS BEGINNING SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2018 ATHLETES AGED 7-18 NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED BEGINS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2, :00-8:00 PM JUMP START YOUR TRAINING!
