The Family YMCA at Tarrytown, under the direction of Cindy Guzman, started its YMCA Elite All Stars Cheer program a few months before the pandemic. Now, for the third year in a row, our team won a spot in the most prestigious invitational in the sport of Cheer: an opportunity to compete at the Nationals which will be held May 9-11 at ESPN Wide World of Sports in Disney, in Orlando, FL. Participation at Nationals — called the Summit for All-Star Cheer Programs — is by invitation only, and it is a testament to how hard our YMCA athletes and their coach have worked. This competition is a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these girls, aged 8 to 16. They will compete against the best squads in the country. They will have the opportunity to make lasting connections with girls from across the country and be exposed to college scouts and potential scholarships.
The team, parents and two coaches left for Orlando on May 8th to compete in this national competition. Whatever the outcome, you are our champions! They have worked hard for this accomplishment. Thank you to all who have supported this team. Good luck girls! We are so proud of you!
