These teams are designed for the family of athletes who:
- want to be on a team but do not want the practice or travel commitment

- Expectations are for your athlete to grow and improve within our discipline
- Attendance guidelines adhere but are loosened
Designed for the athlete and family that is ready to make a full year commitment to a team but may need more skill development to be fully prepared for an elite level team.
This is a great option for the athlete who wants ACE to help prepare them for their upcoming school cheer tryouts.
- Levels are not guaranteed
- Practices are less intense than elite
- Expectations are for your athlete to grow and improve within our discipline
- Attendance guidelines adhere
The skill sets for an Elite Team are Levels 1 – 6. Chiefs skills set is Level 6 and athletes must be of Senior age. Both teams will attend local and travel events. Elite teams are eligible for The Summit and other End of Season events. Chiefs are eligible for The Cheerleading Worlds. Both types of these teams require a high level of commitment for a full year.
If you choose to only be on a Novice team then your athlete will be placed on a novice team only. If you choose to be on a Prep, Elite or Worlds team, then your athlete will be placed on the team that best fits their skill set.
All athletes will get one TEAM tumbling class included in their monthly tuition fees. All-star tumbling is built into a team practice day. You may also take a class from our regular REC class schedule at a discounted rate.

Please note if you are on a National or Worlds team we ask for schools to work with us as to ensure nothing over laps. – Additional discounts are given to athletes who train both at ACE with their School Program and on an ACE All-Star Cheer team.
