After kicking off its season in January, Team Neon of Element All Stars, a local competitive All Star Cheering Program, is on track for another successful campaign. After an impressive first season last year, the squad, consisting of 27 girls ages 9 to 14, has moved up in class to the Large Level 2 Junior Division, where they now compete against accomplished teams from throughout New England and the East Coast.
To date, Team Neon has performed in three regional competitions, finishing runner up at the Northeast Knockout in Worcester in early January, where they also won the D3 Cheering Championship, awarded to the top Small Gym; taking the division title at the Athletic Cheer Championships in Boston, earning them a coveted bid to the 2016 Summit Cheering Championships at Walt Disney World Resorts in Orlando, Florida; and achieving a top four result at the Spirit Festival Nationals in Hartford, CT.
Next up is a trip to the Midwest World Bid National Championships in Columbus, OH. The team will then compete in Worcester and at the University of New Hampshire before rounding out the season at the Summit Cheering Championships in Florida. Fundraising is now underway so the girls can attend. If you would like to sponsor the team or make a donation, find Element All Star Cheering on Facebook.
