• A league can decide to have one or more of their teams’ participate in the EXPO and NOT compete.

• This is designed for younger age groups, however, any age group(s) may participate in the exhibition division.

• Exhibition teams will perform before competition teams (location will be same as competition).

PERFORMANCE:

The performance can be anything your team feels comfortable performing in front of others. Teams can perform any combination of skills including  cheers, dances, chants, jumps, tumbling, stunting, etc.

• The performance will be on Deadmat.

• 2 minutes and 30 second time limit for all teams performing.

• Coaches are expected to be spotters for their team if necessary.

• Safety Rules apply that USA Cheerleading recommends, safety rules can be found in “Competition Expectations, Rules, & Policies” Packet located in the “forms” tab above.

  All cheerleaders should feel safe and comfortable with the skills they are doing. Do NOT have cheerleaders do skills they are not ready for. We want a fun and safe experience for everyone!
