Elite & Prep

Two ways to compete with us. Elite travels to regional and national competitions; Prep is the same sport at a lower cost and a smaller time commitment — with no experience needed.

Season packets

Everything in writing

Dates, tuition, fees, the competition slate and what's expected of an athlete and a family — all in one document.

Packets open as a PDF. If anything in one doesn't match what you've been told, call the gym on 224-288-3320 — the phone call wins.

Which one?

Prep or Elite

Both compete. The difference is how far you travel, how much you pay, and how much of the year it takes.

Prep Cheer

The Formula Cheer Prep Program is a perfect introduction to the sport of All Star cheerleading that is suitable for any age and level. The program allows athletes an opportunity to participate in competitive cheerleading while offering an affordable price and less time commitment.

Our prep season is a year-round program beginning in June and finishing in April. This is the next step for athletes who have competed in REC, super REC, or tiny novice programs — and for athletes who have never competed at all.

No experience is needed.

Elite All Star

Elite teams

The Formula Cheer All Star program is created according to age, selected level and skills with athletes that benefit the team's dynamics. We focus on providing an equal opportunity for each athlete to expand and develop.

Elite runs as a full, half or quarter season. Tuition, fees and the competition schedule are all set out in the season packet above — or call the gym and we'll walk you through it.
