Friday Night Live

Athletes, coaches and fans are teaming up for St. Jude at CHEERSPORT Friday Night Live in Atlanta Georgia!

Friday Night Live gives teams the opportunity to come together and achieve a common goal to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

CHEERSPORT has raised $1.4M since 2015. Thanks to the continued support from the All Star community, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.

It’s all about giving back and leading the fight to end childhood cancer! The 3 teams that raise the most amount of money take home the title! Donate now to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on behalf of your favorite team using the links below!

The Pro Cheer League presented by Varsity Spirit

The Pro Cheer League, presented by Varsity Spirit, is the world’s first professional cheerleading platform for elite athletes aged 18 and older. It empowers these athletes to continue their cheer careers beyond high school and college, with professional training, compensation, and national exposure. 

Join us for the second Pro Cheer League Match in Atlanta at CHEERSPORT Nationals on Friday, February 13th at 8 PM.

Match Format:
  • Each match will feature four quarters. Three rounds will include head-to-head bracket-style events highlighting stand-alone compulsory skills like tumbling, stunts, and basket tosses.
  • Teams will also compete a 2–3 minute creative routine set to music—similar to the cheer routines fans are used to seeing on ESPN, but elevated.
Inspired by ATL – All The Love, this Pro Cheer League event is bursting with hearts, Valentine vibes, cupid-inspired looks, and high-energy performances. Come dressed in your most love-filled fits and celebrate cheer, passion, and community, ATL style.
