COMPETITIONS

At a typical cheerleading competition, teams perform a 2-and-a-half-minute routine with music that includes stunts, jumps, tumbling. Teams are judged by a panel of cheerleading experts on difficulty and execution. Winners are announced in each division and receive a trophy for recognition.
Cheer Competition Season starts in mid-October and may run through January. Competitions are not optional for individuals. If your team registers to participate, the expectation is that all cheerleaders rostered will be in attendance. Each family will be required to review and sign the Competition Acknowledgement Form.
