3. Top Gun

In my opinion the Top Gun All-Stars are a very hard working and devoted team.  All team members and coaches work very hard to stay motivated and determined to reach their goals. Not only has this team won first place at many local and distant competitions but they have also gotten full paid bids to the cheerleading and dance worlds 5 times.  Top Gun is a very energetic and fun team to watch. This team has inspired me to work my hardest at excelling in cheerleading whether it was at practice or tumbling or a competition.

                Top Gun is my favorite team because they always push each other to do their best. Not only do they work together very well but when they are practicing or competing they work their very hardest to be tight with their motions, hit every stunt, land all their tumbling, and hit their pyramid.

                This year at The Cheerleading Worlds, Top Gun All-Stars had all of their level 5 teams compete and they all came with full paid bids. While they were there, they managed to place 1^st in their unlimited co-ed level five division. Their other teams did very well but did not get placed in the top 3 in any division. All in all Top Gun is a very talented and all around great team . they have inspired me a lot through all of my cheerleading years.

2. Gym Tyme

          Gym Tyme All-Stars are located in Louisville, Kentucky. They have a total of 11 competitive all-star cheerleading teams. The first team is Cherries which is a tiny level 1 team, ages 3-5. The next team is Rubies which is a mini level 1 team, ages 6-8. The third team is Peach which is a youth level 2/3 team, ages 9-11. The next team is Smoke which is a junior level 2 team, ages 9-14. They also have a junior level 4 team which is called Smoke and its ages 12-14. The sixth team Sr.White which is a senior restricted co-ed level 5 team, ages 15-18. They also have Onyx and Platinum which are small and medium co-ed level 5 teams, ages 15-18.

            The Gym Tyme All-stars have sent all three of their level 5 teams to The Cheerleading World 10 consecutive years in a row and have never won but they have gotten second place and are now ranked number 2 in the world. All of the competitive cheer teams at this gym work very hard but the level 5 teams have to work 10 times harder because of there level of skill and difficulty.

            These teams have a very hectic schedule. For the smaller level teams they have practices two times a week usually every Tuesday and Sunday for at least 2 hours. But for all the senior teams, the have practice three times a week usually every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday for 2-3 hours at a time. Outside of practice they go to approximately 20-30 competitions a year.
