New Zealand BIGGEST and BEST cheerleading competition is here and if you want to witness our country’s top athletes battle it out for the number one spot you can on Sunday 8th of November at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna.

Almost 1000 cheerleaders and dancers from Australia, Christchurch, Wellington, Palmerston North, Tauranga, Hamilton, Hibiscus Coast and Auckland will be at the competition all hoping to claim the top spot.

The competition which is expected to be the biggest New Zealand has ever seen is going to be huge with 100 cheerleaders confirmed from Australia already and entries still flowing in. Many cheerleaders work routines throughout the year in preparation for this important event so the performance standard and routine quality is set to be at the highest ever seen.

Team New Zealand, who is getting ready to represent New Zealand at the World Championships in Florida, next April, will be at the competition defending their recent first place from at the All Star Spring Carnival championships. The team will be performing at the conclusion of the novice session as well competing during the elite session. The team, who have been performing at many events all over Auckland, will give the audience the opportunity to see what New Zealand's top cheerleaders have to offer and also a preview into what the team will be using to try bring home the Gold in April at the World Championships!

A partnership between the New Zealand Cheerleading Association (NZCA) and All Star Cheerleaders, the International Cheerleading and Dance Championships is expected to attract 3000 spectators from around New Zealand and Australia.

Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing team sports in America and the UK and is now enjoying a new profile in New Zealand. Its newfound popularity has gained a lot of attention, with All Star cheerleaders receiving coverage from both print and TV News with the most recent appearance being on the hit TV show New Zealand Smashes World records, where our cheerleaders broke the world record for the most cheerleaders in a mini and the world’s HIGHEST cheerleading basket toss!!!

Anyone Interested in a fast dynamic and skilled sporting competition is welcome to come along on Sunday 8th of November 2009. The event promises to be one filled with excitement and a display of the best in competitive cheer from around New Zealand.
