COMPETITIVE TEAMS
Coaching/ Competitions
Already well respected in the industry, Ausfunk have united closely with other successful gyms/ coaches and industry leaders to bring the most relevant skills/ choreography and progressive lesson plans for athletes. Our goal is to streamline all classes so expectations are clear and goals can be set and achieved.
We have scheduled our competitions strategically throughout the year to have time to adjust routines for full benefit of the teams. We are also aware of the growing costs in our sport so have chosen not only the most value for money but also quality events where coaches and athletes gain the most feedback to further their routine scores.
Tiered System
Our tiered system allows new families choice based on commitment and availability that suits their family.
Tier 1 – Ausfunk’s Tier 1 program is the perfect way to to get involved without the commitment of competitions. Ausfunk offers by the term and casual classes.
Tier 2 – Ausfunk’s Tier 2 program is the perfect way to start out in the cheerleading and dancing world. Tier 2 teams get the same experience as competing teams but with low commitment on your time and at a lower cost. Tier 2 teams train once a week and compete in two competitions per year.
Tier 3 – Ausfunk’s Tier 3 program is our interim program leading into Tier 4. Training 1-2 times a week and 4 competitions per years. More commitment without the entire comp package.
Tier 4 – Ausfunk’s Tier 4 program is for the most competitive teams in the gym. They compete in 5-6 events per year. Tier 4 cheer teams train twice a week and dance teams train once a week with addition of dance technique classes.

Cheerleading
Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Cheerleading is an extremely athletic activity involving – jumps and tumbling, stunts, motions and a little bit of dance choreography.
All Star competitive cheerleading is not to be confused with sideline cheerleading with pom poms, we don’t use poms here (except if you are in a pom/ dance team). Teams are usually made up of 8 to 15 athletes forming either all girl or coed teams and are placed together based on age categories and skill level. We take students from any age; 3- 60+, at any ability level; very beginner to very advanced!
Levels range from 1 to 5 and our coaches create 2 minute and 30 second routines that have a combination elements; stunts, tumbling, jumps, pyramid and a dance break. Team perform and compete at several competitions throughout the year locally, interstate and some of our teams travel internationally to compete at various championships around the world.
