OUR PROGRAM HISTORY

Indeed, this is personal to us!

Proudly displaying the colors of
purple/black/and white, the Douglasville
Cheer Stars began with only one coach
and a single (senior) squad in the year 2000;
Cheer Stars, The Best of the Best, Purple,
Black, & White (xx) That’s Right, Go Stars…”
was soon memorized by our staff, our athletes,
and every other child that happened to walk
through the gym doors on the nights of
Cheer Star practices during our initiation
year, 2000. 

The original senior team competed for
the final time in March of 2002. 

2000-2002:
Our Learning Years…
That’s what we like to call them anyway!

For the 2002-2003 competitive season,
our vision finally began to unfold!  The Cheer Star staff
made the decision to rebuild from the bottom up.  Three
teams (pee-wee/youth/ and juniors) were hand selected for the 2002-2003 competitive season. 
The Douglasville Cheer Star teams wrapped up their season with five-first place finishes, seven-second place finishes,
and their First Ever National Title!  Douglasville’s youth took pride in winning that first title at Spirit Sports’ “Battle at the Beach”
National Championship (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.) 

The 2003-2004 competitive season was extremely tough (for us, as a smaller program) for we realized that to be respected as a competitive
all star program, we should not only strive to become “The Best of the Best”  within our facility and local area, but we should also compete
against “The Best of the Best” nationwide.  With this mindset, we entered our local STARS (three teams once again, pee-wee/youth/
and juniors,) in numerous highly respected competitions.  We completed the 2003-2004 competitive season with one-first place finish
and three-second place finishes, respectively.

For the 2004-2005 competitive season, we added yet another team to the Douglasville Cheer Star Family (the twinkle team, age 4-second
grade.)  Attempting to “hang with the big dogs,” Douglasville’s four teams (twinkle/pee-wee/youth/and juniors) competed in many
prestigious competitions once again.  With two national titles (from our twinkle and youth team members,) eight-additional first place
finishes, eight-second place finishes, loyalty established, and yet another great year of experience under our belts, we held our heads
high as we hosted tryouts for yet another competitive season.

After changing our cheer to “Douglasville Cheer Stars, Remember Our Name, Join the Family, You Won’t be the Same (x) Stars…”
designing a new logo (as seen on the front of this packet,) and developing our new slogan “Building Champions, One Star at a Time…” 
the 2005-2006 competitive season was without a doubt our BEST YEAR YET!  Our four teams competed in the mini, youth, and junior
divisions.  Our STARS wrapped up their season with seven national titles (all teams winning at least one national title with the minis
winning Douglasville’s first ever CHEERSPORT title,) four-additional first place finishes, 11-second place finishes, and ten-third place
finishes.  …ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!  

During the 2006-2007 competitive season, our Cheer Star family was larger than ever!  We competed five teams in the mini,
youth, junior, and senior divisions while proudly introducing “No Time for Losing, We’ve Come This Far, National Champions (xx)
CHEER STARS” as our new cheer for the 2006-2007 competitive year.  Throughout the season, our proud STARS brought home eight national
titles, two class champion awards, and two grand champion titles for the first time ever!  Our STARS also brought home $1,500.00 in prize
money for their class and grand championship titles.  Douglasville’s minis also defended their CHEERSPORT national title in February of 2007,
soon becoming Back-to-Back CHEERSPORT Champs!  Winning aside, Douglasville’s STARS also received five-second place finishes and
nine-third place finishes, respectively. 

During the 2007-2008 competitive year, we proudly introduced our new slogan, “An Unforgettable all star Experience for the Younger Generation,” shifting our focus back to the youth in our community.  …Proudly exclaiming “Cheer Stars, Back Again, Ready or Not,
We’re Here to Win,” we competed four teams in the tiny, mini, and youth divisions.  …YES, Douglasville’s FIRST EVER TINY TEAM (age 5 and below.)  Our inaugural tiny team won their FIRST EVER NATIONAL TITLE, helping bring our 07-08 national title count to eight!  Douglasville’s
MINIS defended their back-to-back CHEERSPORT titles in February of 2008, soon becoming 3PEAT CHEERSPORT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!    Throughout the season, our teams proudly claimed eight national titles, one class champion honor, one grand champion honor, $500 in prize money, five-second place finishes, and four-additional third place finishes, respectively. 

2008-2009…THE SEASON TO REMEMBER!  “Purple, Black, and White, The Colors of a STAR, Don’t Look Away, CHAMPIONS we are!” 
…And CHAMPIONS they were!!  With beautiful new uniforms, our STARS proudly earned 11 National Championships (2/11 CHEERSPORT National Titles from our Mini 2 and Youth 2,) 12-additional first place finishes, 4 SWEEPS, 3-second place finishes, 3-third place finishes, 7 class/grand champion titles, 1 most entertaining title, $400 in prize money, 1 program spirit award, and 1 (for the first time ever) UNDEFEATED TEAM (congratulations to youth 2!!)  The results speak for themselves.  Quite frankly, it doesn’t get much better than that…!!   

10 YEARS STRONG…”10 years of tradition & still shining bright, the stars, are back, the purple/black/& white!”  During the 2009-2010 season,
we competed four teams in the tiny, youth 1 & 3, and junior 3 divisions (WELCOME BACK, JUNIORS!)  J  All teams received bids to the
prestigious 2nd annual All-Level Worlds Competition (TINYS TOO) with 2/3 of our teams attending taking home the All-Levels TITLE (& GOLD MEDAL!)  We also added an additional CHEERSPORT Title to our collection (bringing our CHEERSPORT NATIONAL TITLE count to 6!) 
Cheer Stars also earned 2 ‘Best of Level’ titles (GO YELLOW,) 3 additional 1st place finishes, 5 additional 2nd place finishes, & 6 additional
3rd place finishes, respectively,  We also enjoyed celebrating another EVENT SWEEP in Pensacola, Florida @ WSA’s Beach Championship. 

For the upcoming season, we are Back in Black (well, purple/black/and white we should say!)  We will compete four teams in the tiny, mini,
and junior divisions for the 2010-2011 competitive season.  Our coaching staff is eagerly anticipating another “Unforgettable All Star
Experience!”  We are honored that your child (and family) has chosen to join in our excitement.  Soon, we will continue to build champions…
One Star at a Time! 

As of now, this is where we stand.  …And here we go again!
