There are definitely exceptions - granted I've been out of high school for a little while now, but the high school cheer coaches at my school were kind of awful to the girls who came from allstar or chose to only participate in football season so that they could continue allstar. The head coach essentially called a bunch of people out at a tryout clinic, saying that allstar is fine through eighth grade, but it's your duty to represent your high school once you get into high school and it's time to move on.Because all things suck in Illinois you can't legally do both allstar and high school cheer during the IHSA competitive season (which is the winter season primarily). So many of us tryout for half season allstar teams literally the weekend after state. Speaking for my school, the relationship between us and allstar in general is really good. Many girls started at allstar gyms or do the half season as I mentioned. Also my team does tumbling classes every week at a gym. Even though high school season is over, we've had tryouts this week and I had to be a little late to tryouts one day, and leave practice early another. Both my allstar and high school coaches are really good about me splitting up my time evenly between them. There are no hard feelings. My high school coach actually really encouraged doing off season because its helpful for gaining/maintaining skills, even though it interferes a little. I think in IL in general the relationship is good although i'm sure there are exceptions.
In Arizona you are not allowed to do both, even if your high school team does not compete. There are a few schools that have really good teams that go to nationals. This is a relatively new rule. There are girls that go back and forth.
Ok I coach in Arizona, and I heard that there is a chance this could be discussed for next year and revised. So we will have to see.
