1 Wylie Elite All-Star Prep Thank you for your interest in our program! We are so excited about the growth within our program and looking forward to another successful year in our new facility. We are entering our 8 th season in the All-Star Competitive industry and 3 rd year in the All- Star Prep. Our program vision and goal is to build our athletes from the inside out by starting with a strong foundation and progressing your child at his/her own ability level in a motivating, positive environment. We focus on character and core values, which work its way outward to mold them into solid competitive team players. Our All-Star Prep is a great choice for those athletes who are not ready to make cheerleading their only sport. Wylie Elite Prep Teams offer athletes an opportunity to experience the excitement of All-Stars with less practice time and financial obligation while still emphasizing fun, skill acquisition and teamwork. The Prep program is the perfect building process for athletes to progress into the Wylie Elite s competitive program, preparation for school cheer or for an athlete that loves cheerleading, but does not have the time to commit to a full 12-month long season. Wylie Elite will offer Prep teams for athletes 5-18 yrs old (as of Aug. 31, 2015). Teams will have two hour practices each week. The teams will learn a competitive cheer routine that incorporates tumbling, jumping, stunting, and dance. The Wylie Elite Prep Teams will compete at 4 local competitions between the months of Jan - April. There is no previous cheerleading experience or tumbling requirements needed. Teams will be formed based on athlete s age and current skills. 5-6 yrs old Tiny Prep Team Level 1 only 8 yrs and younger Mini Prep Team Level 1 only 11yrs and younger Youth Prep Team Level 1-2 only 14 yrs and younger Junior Prep Team Level 1-2 only 18 yrs and younger Senior Prep Team Level 1-2 only
