All-Star Cheerleading Squad

~COACHES MUST BE MEMBERS OF ICCA TO HAVE CHEERLEADERS TRY OUT FOR THE ALL-STAR CHEERLEADING SQUAD~

The ICCA is excited to join together with the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association to put together a great weekend featuring senior basketball players and talented cheerleaders. The cheer teams are chosen through a tryout process by video. A panel of ICCA coaches choose cheerleaders from each district in the state to participate in four squads of All-Star cheerleaders. The All-Stars are sent a video from which to learn cheers, chants, and a pom routine. When they get together in March at Dallas Center Grimes High School, they are also taught a choreographed routine. Over the weekend the cheerleaders cheer for both boys’ and girls’ teams from their district and then perform their choreographed routines at the half times.

Please contact ICCA All-Star Director Betty Lou Jones jonesswea@iowatelecom.net with any questions.
