Plot

Lina Cruz is a tough, sharp-witted Latina cheerleader from East L.A. who transfers to a posh, West Los Angeles high school after her widowed mother remarries a wealthy man.

Lina not only finds herself a fish-out-of-her-environment at her new high school but she faces off against Avery, the snobbish and ultra-competitive all-star cheerleading captain who leads her own squad,'The Jaguars' after the 'Sea Lions' didn't vote her captain.

After Lina upset Sky, her stepsister, Lina is forced to join the Sea Lions. She goes into the school stadium to check them out, and finds Evan, her crush practicing hoops. Lina impresses Evan and the Sea Lions vote her captain. As Lina is captain Gloria, her best friend from East L.A is called to help her out.

After a team member from the Sea Lions quit, Lina calls her other best friend Treyvonetta to come and help her out. At the game, the Sea Lions go on and perform and a fall takes place. The Jaguars, led by Avery are there and save them from their misery. Lina calls for back up and takes the Sea Lions to an impromptu flavour school to work on their movements. She later meets Evan waiting for her there, which Victor, Gloria's boyfriend befriends him.

The next day, Lina comes up with the idea of the Sea Lions competing in the All Star Championship. After the team agreeing to double up their practices, the Sea Lions are invited to a RDD party. After Sea Lion practice, Gloria and Treyvonetta are expelled due to Lina sneaking them in without an approval. Lina refuses to go to the dance but is confronted by Sky. Evan takes Lina as his date to the party, where Gloria and Treyvonetta turn up and there Lina and Avery have a dance off. Lina ends up winning the dance off, but Avery tells her that she doesn't belong here in Malibu. Lina mad, runs off the dance floor and outside where Evan follows. There she breaks up with Evan, and tends for Gloria to take her back to East L.A and quit becoming captain of the Sea Lions.

There she is confronted by Gloria and Treyvonetta, and Lina stays at Malibu and becomes captain of the Sea Lions again. The next day when Lina goes back to school, half of the Sea Lion squad quit because of Lina's routines and her practices. Avery and Kayla come up to Lina, Christina and Sky and tells them that their dreaming if they think they have a chance at winning the Spirit Championship.

Sky loses her temper and tells them to back off otherwise a fight would have started. Lina then goes on a field trip to East L.A where Gloria got a gym to sponsor the Sea Lions and some of the members of East L.A as an All Star Squad. Combining Sea Lions and East L.A, they become a dream team. After finishing practices, the next day while Lina is at her locker talking with Sky and Christina, Evan kisses her. They get back together and Lina and her team make it to the final round of the All Star Championship. The Malibu Dream Team won the spirit championship outnumbering The Jaguars, Avery's team. The ending ends with Christina Milian singing her song, "I Got To Get To You" and her co-stars dancing to it.
