Tonight was the perfect start to what is shaping up to be an incredible weekend of all star cheerleading. 

24 Level 5 teams gathered together for a night of glitz and glam at The MAJORS' Athlete Celebration, an exclusive meet-and-greet for all of the athletes and coaches competing Friday night.

Athletes got to reconnect with their friends from other teams, take pictures and celebrate all the hard work they've put in to become a MAJORS' athlete. 

This weekend marks the 7th year of The MAJORS and Reagan Pizzino from Cheer Extreme Senior Elite is the only athlete to have competed at this prestigious event all seven years. This stand-out athlete was recognized during the celebration with a roar of applause from her fellow athletes as she was honored for her many years of dedication and achievement.

Kai Mincey from Top Gun All Stars Large Coed was awarded the Jeremi Sanders MAJORS Scholarship and he delivered an inspirational speech that reminded everyone why they fell in love with all star cheerleading.

If you couldn't join us here in Indianapolis for the MAJORS' kick-off, here are a few of our favorite moments from tonight's festivities. 

Be sure to tune in Friday night at 7 PM ET to see these athletes put on a show of a lifetime as they work to earn the name of MAJORS Champion. Watch it all happen LIVE right here on Varsity TV.
