Welcome to All Star Legacy

Cheer and Dance Program!

Welcome to All Star Legacy Cheer and Dance Program!


We are a year-round, competitive cheerleading, dance, and tumbling organization serving the Northern VA, DC metro area. All Star Legacy was founded in 2003 in Ashburn, VA, with only nine competitive teams. We have expanded to multiple locations, three states, and are proud of our entire program. Kyle Grussmeyer and Trisha Hart wanted to have a training facility that athletes could feel at home, grow as athletes, and one day have the same memorable competitive experience both of them had with collegiate cheer. “Never Underestimate the Power of a Dream” became their mantra and shortly after the first season the program was recognized nationwide. To this day, All Star Legacy prides itself on talent, traditions, and sportsmanship.

We are entering our 14th season at All Star Legacy. ASL is serving athletes all over the DC Metro area with locations in Ashburn (VA), Front Royal (VA), Manassas (VA) and Ranson (WV). This packet of information is created to assist you in understanding the commitment level of all families and give basic expectations of All Star Legacy.

Our mission at All Star Legacy is to enrich the lives of the athletes and their families through the sport of competitive cheerleading and dance. Our goal is to teach our athletes the value of commitment, hard work, integrity, leadership, self-confidence, positive attitude and love for the sport.

On behalf of our incredible staff and wonderful athletes of past, present, and future we welcome you to the ASL family!

Sincerely,

Kyle Grussmeyer Trisha Hart

PRACTICES

All competitive teams will practice twice each week. Most teams (level 2-5) will add an additional practice on Sunday during the school year.

All team members are required to attend EVERY practice. Once competition season begins coaches may call extra practices as necessary. Any extra practice that is scheduled must be attended by all members of the team.

Reason for extra practices could be due to weather cancelation or additional preparations due to injury/illness.

PRACTICE WEAR

Practice wear will be fitted in the summer months. All in good standing will receive practice wear items. Each member is required to wear gym colors until the practice wear is given out. The correct outfit should be worn on the scheduled days. If you need additional items you can purchase them in the pro shop.

Shoes MUST be worn

Hair pulled back out of the face

No jewelry of any kind

Nails must be a reasonable length

ABSENCES

Attendance is mandatory. We will do our best to schedule practice to not conflict with high school cheerleading. We ask that families work with their high school coaches as the school season gets underway and communicate all activities in advance with ASL.




Athletes that miss practices leading up to a competition or ASL event may be removed from the choreography or entire routine (valid or non-valid reasons). Athletes that miss excessive practice, whether excused or not, may be removed completely from the routines or be dismissed from the program without refund.

Valid reasons for missing practice are:

Contagious Illness (with Dr. note)

Death in Family

Submitted Vacation time




Competitions and events:

All competitions and ASL events(pep rally & showcase) are mandatory. If you miss a competition or ASL specific event you will be charged a $150.00 fee.

Competition Wear:

You will arrive to the competition venue with hair and makeup done!

Arrive to the venue in ONLY 1) Uniform, 2) Warm Up, 3) Both

Cheer shoes only! Please do not wear flip flops or UGGS to the event. We want to look uniform as a TEAM and PROGRAM.

Hotel Accommodations:

All Star Legacy will reserve a block of rooms through the housing company and each cheerleader will have to stay in a room booked through the housing company. We will submit a listing of all our cheerleaders and where they are staying in order to verify they have booked through the housing company.

This is a competition company requirement for several out of town events. Those events that are local and do not require stay to play we will give options of where we have blocked rooms if interested in staying.




GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION:

Tumbling

We will provide tumbling instruction within each practice. We have over 40 classes offered outside of the practice times for each team. When you are member of a competition team you will receive discounted member rates for a tumble pass. Tumble passes are non-refundable and non-transferable. However, they do not expire! We encourage all athletes to tumble as often as possible to continue to master skills.

Private Lessons

All private lessons will be set up by the client directly through the coaching staff personal email. Private lessons are contracted between member and the instructor. No lessons are allowed to be taught without other staff in addition to the instructor present. (This is for safety and liability purposes). It is important to note that All Star Legacy does not take any responsibility for the financial transactions involved in private lessons.

Open Gym

Open gym is FREE to all competition members. Non-competition member can attend open gym for a $15.00 fee.

Conditioning

All athletes must be involved in some type of physical conditioning program and stretching exercises either at home or at the gym. It is not possible for an athlete to be in the peak physical condition if their all-star practice is the only physical activity in which they partake. Injuries are always a concern in our sport and the best way to avoid them is through proper technique, flexibility and physical condition.
