The Horizon "Jewels" All Stars are one of Horizon's newest competitive cheerleading squads.

The girls are always looking for new talent so if you are a girl/boy who is between the ages of 4 to 11 years old, please do not hesitate to contact Head Coach, Kris Warner, at (941) 347-8656 or at the gym at (941) 627-5342.
