Cheer, explained for the people paying for it.
Nobody hands you a glossary when your child joins an All Star team. These are straight answers to the questions that come up first — no jargon, and no sales pitch in the middle of them.

Prep, Novice and Elite are not skill levels — they describe the kind of programme a team competes in. Here is what each one asks of a family.

These guides are free and there is nothing to sign up for to read them. If you want to know what Athelos itself does for a cheer family, start here.
