Athletes ages 6-18 are eligible for evaluations for elite teams. Elite Teams are offered for levels 1-4. The number of teams, the ages for each team and the level for each team are determined by the athletes at evaluations.
Royals are evaluated on jumps, tumbling, dance, motion technique, attitude, ability to receive and apply feedback and stunting capabilities.
*Level Requirements are below. Please see FAQ page for squad placement requirements.

​​​​Athletes ages 3-6 can register for the season on The Duchess team. They are not required to attend evaluations.

​​​Exceptional athletes can register for the season on The Royal Lords & Ladies and do not need to attend evaluations.
Exceptional athletes may have a mental or physical disability that would prevent them from thriving in a typical cheer environment. We welcome athletes of all abilities and will find a Buddy to partner with them for the duration of the season to help them succeed in the world of competitive cheer! ​
