CheerForce Diamondz



First of all, I just have to say that this team is AMAZING! Especially when it is only this team's second year competing in this harsh small senior all girl division. From their elite tumbling, to their 5 one and a half ups, they definitely have the needed WOW factor. After seeing this routine, you have to give props to their choreographer. At the American Grand competition in Las Vegas on December 20-21, after the first day, they were in second out of nine teams behind AZ Power by very little. But they pulled through on the second day, and were in first by an unbelievable 12 points! They were against teams like CA all stars (4th place), Pride Athletics (2nd place), OC all stars (5th place), and Fierce all stars (9th place). We can expect great results at worlds this April.

CheerForce Alcatraz


Ok I know, I know. No, Cheerforce Alcatraz is not going to Worlds, but i am going to talk about them as if they were because they were amazing at their last competition! Alcatraz's routine is so eye catching, and it is hard to see everything that is happening. In other words, during certain parts of the routine, if you blink, you could really be missing out. This team has a lot of skill for only being a junior team. They really excel in tumbling, and could beat some senior teams in tumbling. They were at the American Grand competition in Las Vegas on December 20-21. At this competition they got 1st place AND Grand champion! Their routine had an interesting (in a good way) stunt sequence, tons of great tumbling, and a very creative overall effect! They will probably do good this season.

WOW this team definitely has some great potential! The amount of talent on this team is overwhelming, and they have an awesome routine. Their routine is very creative and catches attention really quick. If only this team executed their skills better, they would be unstoppable! They were at the American Grand competition in Las Vegas on December 20-21, but had a bit of a disappointment when they ended up with third place out of 4 teams. They went to this competition with full ups, many specialty passes, and a great pyramid. I am very excited to follow their progress this season because I have a feeling they will be improving!

California All Stars Small Small Coed



Well this team will definitely get some attention this season. They have very high energy, and a very creative routine. This team has an average amount of skill for their level, and took home 1st place at the American Gran competition in Las Vegas on December 20-21. After I saw them, the thing that sticks in my memory the most was their dance. It just grabbed my attention, and everyone on the team looked like they were having the time of their lives during the dance! It is to the song So What by P!nk, and basically gives the impression that they don't care what other people think of them, they're just going to go out and have fun. Which is what it looked like they were doing. I haven't seen many other teams from this division yet that will be against them at worlds this year, but I think they will do okay there.

Which team do you prefer in the Large Unlimited Coed division: Top Gun or California all stars?
