General Information

Each team must be registered no later than Nov. 23, 2007. No exceptions. Once you register you will receive a confirmation email or letter.

The competition will follow the National Federation Spirit Rules and Regulations book. These rules may differ from other regional or national competitions. The routine can be 2 minutes and 30 seconds in length with a maximum of one minute and 30 seconds of music allowed.  Glitter of any kind may NOT be worn on a participant’s face or uniform.

The competition floor will be 54 feet wide x 42 feet deep. (9 strips) Strips will run from back to front.

The tentative schedule will be in alphabetical order by school name in each class or division.

There will be a spectator fee of $8. Two sponsors/advisors will be admitted free from each team.

NO video cameras will be allowed in the facility. 

Videos of the competition may be purchased at the competition.

Edmondson Screen Printing will be on site selling the official 2007 AHSAA State Cheerleading Competition tee shirt.

Each participant must have a signed medical release form to participate.  Sponsors will turn these in at check in for the event.

Any male participants on a Varsity squad will make that squad a coed squad.

The junior high division is for squads with participants in the 7th and 8th grade. If a squad has a 9th grade participant that squad will be considered a Freshman or junior varsity squad.

In the Junior Classic, there are 2 divisions for non-building squads, junior high and junior varsity.  We reserve the right to combine the two divisions based on participant entry.

We will use a second panel of judges.  This will allow us to run two classes at the same time.  It will decrease the down time between squads that is needed for the judges to adequately score and comment.

Concessions will be available.
