Orlando, FL - The Lehigh Valley is home to two All Star Cheer teams competing in the USASF World Championships this weekend (April 23rd – 25th). Held at Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida both Valley Elite All Stars (Bloomsbury, NJ) and World Cup Phoenix All Stars (Easton, PA) received bids to compete. Lucky for area residents it’s easy to cheer on both teams as they are competing in different divisions.

Valley Elite All Stars team ‘Big Red’ is competing in the very exciting International Open Level 5 Coed Division. Big Red faces tough US competition in the first round of 26 teams and must place in the top 10 to move on to the next round. In the semi-finals the 10 will face off against an additional 35 teams from around the US and World. Only the top 10 teams from the semi’s move on to the Finals on Monday where the champion will be crowned.

World Cup Phoenix team ‘Zenith’ is also in a very tough division the Senior Medium Level 5 All Girl Division. In the preliminary round they must place in the top 10 teams to move on to the Semi Finals. Upon reaching the semi-final round the 10 would compete against 32 teams. Again, only the top 10 teams move on to the final Championship round on Monday.

These two gyms enjoy a spirit of friendly rivalry and exemplify sportsmanship in the sport. The Lehigh Valley is proudly represented by these athletes who train and compete throughout the year and are at the top level of the sport.
