The TEAM

The Aerials' Starz are an All Star cheerleading team. Our goal is to teach our girls about cheerleading and to have fun doing it. We want our cheerleaders to know what it is like to be part of a team that is dedicated, dependable, and respectable. Self-esteem, self-respect, and peer relationships are more important than trophies. We will strive to be the best we can be and in all our efforts endeavor to perform at 110%.
