All Team Season Opening
Back on January 22, 2022, all four teams at TNT Elite All-Star Cheerleading took a short road trip to Trenton, NJ to compete in the Spirit Brands, Northeast Championship at the Cure Insurance Arena. For some athletes, this competition was more than just the first for the season, but the first time they traveled outside their home gym in Maple Shade, NJ to complete, in-person, in front of a live audience and live judges in 22 months.
COVID-19 halted Season 3 just after an incredible win in Wildwood, NJ in March 2020. The Senior Level 3.2 team, Xplosion, just won their division, grand champions and a full paid bid to NAST, which they were never able to use. Being back in person was just an incredible experience for these athletes.
The cheering of the crowd, the sound of the music and the bond that these athletes to continue to develop day after day was in full swing. Athletes got to the arena early to find a place to plug in curlers, help each other put on make-up and prepare for an incredible day of competition and fun.
TNT brought home 3 first place wins, Sparklers, Ignite & Xplosion, while the Firecrackers had the hardest division of them all and came home in 4th place. This was just the start of an incredible season to come, traveling all across NJ, Delaware and even some teams heading to Alabama and Ft. Lauderdale later this year.
