Sahuarita All-Stars started as a vision and goal of Dawn Elkins to provide cheer classes and training to local youth. In January 2007 SAS started with four classes at Rancho Sahuarita. Very quickly more classes were added and there were 28 students for our first performance. In the spirit of competing an All-Star squad was formed in April of 2007 with 14 members and they placed in the top three at each competition the first year. In January 2008 a second competitive team was added for ages 8 and under. By the end of the competitive season SAS was 23 strong and had won several awards. Several Coaches also won First Place in Individual Cheer at the Cheerleaders of America Nationals in Orlando Florida.
Starting SAS's second competitive year has been exciting with three teams and 43 competitors. SAS also offers cheer classes for skills that include cheer, gymnastics, and dance. We have around over 40 students from preschool age to high school.
"I feel very blessed to be able to help children achieve their dreams and accomplishments," says owner Dawn Elkins. "I was able to see the world through cheerleading, and I want all those experiences to be open to the children of Sahuarita and Green Valley."
