About Us The Southern Tier Starlites was originally formed as a winter cheer pom dance team to give our talented youth a place to continue to grow in cheerleading through a competitive off season pom dance team. In 2016, the Nova (Jr.) and Vega (Sr.) Cheerleading teams were added. We also added the Twinkles, an introduction to pom dance team and the Little Lites Pom Dance team. All our teams practice from September through the end of April. We compete in 3 competitions in the spring. With the exception of our Twinkles Team. Their season is mid August through the end of October. In 2017 we added the youth cheerleading team LUNA.

Who We Are
|
The Southern Tier Starlites was founded by Katie Legg in 2014. Katie started coaching youth cheerleading in 2002 for the Town of Windsor when her daughter Kali cheered. In 2011 Katie became the Town of Windsor Youth Cheerleading Coordinator then in 2013 Katie accepted the position of STYCC (Southern Tier Youth Cheerleading Competition) President for 2 years before retiring from both positions when her son left the youth football program.
Katie's love for coaching and passion to give young girls opportunities to be the best they can be, helped her make the decision to start an independent winter All-Star Cheer and Dance Team. The girls who are chosen to be on the team are girls who work hard to be the best they can be. They truly love the sport, competing and being part of a team. Our coaches and assistant coaches are also former and present youth cheerleading and All-Star coaches. We encourage our girls to believe in themselves and their team. We coach them with a positive attitude and teach them to be positive role models and leaders in their community.
