The Types of Levels in Cheerleading
As a competitive sport, cheerleading has different levels that athletes can compete at. The level of difficulty increases as you move up the levels, so it's important to know which level is right for you and your squad. Here's a guide to the different cheerleading levels and what they entail.
There are 7 main levels of cheerleading; Level 1 through Level 7. Each level has its own set of compulsory and optional skills that must be completed in order to move on to the next level. These levels dictate what stunts, jumps, and other moves a cheer squad can perform. This is for the safety of the cheerleaders, as certain aspects of cheer require additional training, skill, and expertise to perform. What each level can and cannot do is overseen by the International All-Star Federation (IASF).
