Published October 25, 2024

The first-ever NJCAA competitive cheerleading meet took place on October 19, 2024, marking a pivotal moment for junior college cheerleading. This historic meet featured two powerhouse programs, Navarro College and Blinn College, going head-to-head at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas. Traditionally known for their dominance at the National Cheer Association (NCA) competitions, both schools embraced the NJCAA’s shift to a structured, multi-round competition format, signaling a new era for collegiate cheer at the junior college level.

Meet Structure: A New Format for Cheer

This NJCAA meet differed from the typical one-shot routines seen at NCA championships. Instead, it featured a three-period format with multiple heats, offering more opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills in specific categories such as tumbling, stunt building, and creative tosses. The shift to this format reflects a growing emphasis on precision and consistency, requiring teams to sustain high energy and focus across multiple rounds rather than a single performance.

Performance Breakdown: Key Highlights

  1. Compulsory Tumbling (Period 1):
    • Blinn secured early wins with impressive toe tucks and standing layouts.
    • Navarro answered back with victories in standing hand tucks and round-off tucks, resulting in a tightly contested start.
  2. Creative Building and Stunts (Period 2):
    • Both teams excelled in pyramid formations and stunt sequences, splitting wins across the heats.
    • The second period also featured basket tosses and creative elements, further challenging athletes to showcase both skill and artistry.
  3. Final Compulsory Routine (Period 3):
    • The competition culminated in a one-minute compulsory routine, with Navarro narrowly edging out Blinn, 50-45.

The meet ended with Navarro scoring 154 points over Blinn’s 150, underscoring just how evenly matched these teams were throughout the event.

What This Competition Means for Cheerleading

This meet represents more than just a rivalry—it highlights a new direction for NJCAA cheerleading. Historically, junior college programs like Blinn and Navarro balanced sideline performances with NCA competitions, where they had one chance to impress. With the NJCAA format, cheerleading now emphasizes multi-round strategy, offering athletes multiple opportunities to perform and adapt throughout the meet.

For cheer coaches and athletes nationwide, this shift offers new opportunities:

  • Development of Endurance and Versatility: Athletes must now maintain energy and composure over extended periods and adjust in real-time.
  • Increased Focus on Technique and Execution: The format rewards clean execution and strategic decision-making, fostering skill development across different areas of cheer.

• • Expanded Competitive Opportunities: Blinn’s coach expressed optimism about more NJCAA events being scheduled, opening the door for other programs to adopt the format and grow junior college cheer into a more structured sport.

Looking Ahead: A Growing Landscape

This first NJCAA meet sets a precedent for future competitions, potentially expanding the sport’s visibility and providing new pathways for student-athletes. Both Navarro and Blinn, with their storied NCA success, have proven that cheerleading at the junior college level can thrive in this evolving competitive landscape.

How to Coach Multiple Rounds: Lessons from NJCAA Cheer Meets

Coaching for multi-round cheer competitions, like those recently introduced by the NJCAA, requires a fresh approach compared to single-routine events. The Navarro vs. Blinn meet, which featured multiple heats across three periods, offers valuable insights into maintaining energy, focus, and strategy throughout these demanding events. Below is a breakdown of key coaching strategies to excel in multi-round competitions.

1. Strategic Energy Management Across Heats

In multi-round formats, it’s critical to pace your athletes to sustain energy. Unlike single-shot performances, multiple heats require athletes to perform at peak levels several times. Coaches can incorporate interval training into practice to simulate competition pacing. Rest and recovery periods should also be built between routines to ensure athletes are refreshed for each heat.

  • Tip: Rotate athletes in non-essential heats to prevent fatigue during crucial rounds, such as stunt or creative building heats later in the event.
  • Incorporate Conditioning: Endurance drills like circuit training and high-intensity interval workouts help athletes build the stamina needed to perform multiple routines successfully over extended periods.

2. Building Versatility and Flexibility

Coaches should train athletes to handle multiple roles, such as switching between positions in pyramids and stunt sequences. Versatility ensures seamless transitions between heats and gives the team more flexibility to adapt to changes or injuries during competitions. Athletes performing as both bases and flyers can become key assets in ensuring smooth routine shifts.

  • Role Assignments: Use grid systems to track athlete participation across heats and avoid overloading individuals, ensuring they can perform optimally throughout the event.
  • Skill Assessments: Evaluate each athlete’s strengths in tumbling, stunts, and pyramids before the season, giving you a strategic advantage when assigning routines.

3. Maintaining Focus Through Mental Preparation

Multi-round competitions demand more mental stamina from athletes. Coaches can use visualization techniques and breathing exercises to help athletes stay focused and calm during breaks between heats. Group mindfulness sessions during practice can also foster mental resilience, keeping athletes sharp for every round.

  • Pre-Performance Rituals: Establish routines to reduce anxiety and ensure athletes remain focused between heats.
  • Visualization: Encourage athletes to mentally rehearse routines during downtime, envisioning each heat as a new opportunity to excel.

4. Using Strategic Adjustments Between Heats

The NJCAA’s multi-heat format offers the advantage of mid-competition adjustments. Coaches can review performance trends between heats, such as timing issues or minor form breaks, and provide immediate feedback. This adaptability allows teams to recover and correct mistakes in real time, potentially turning a competition in their favor.

  • Video Analysis: If possible, film heats and review them with the team between rounds to identify areas for quick improvement.
  • Adapt Strategies: Have backup plans for stunts or routines that prove inconsistent during early heats, focusing on cleaner execution to maximize later rounds.

5. Coaching Beyond the Routine: Building Team Chemistry

Cohesive teamwork is essential for multi-round success. Coaches can foster camaraderie with team-building exercises and ensure that athletes support each other through the highs and lows of competition. A supportive team culture ensures that athletes stay motivated across multiple heats.

  • Team Bonding Sessions: Activities like group dinners or team outings before competitions can build trust and communication among athletes.
  • Positive Reinforcement: Celebrate small victories after each heat to keep morale high, even if adjustments are needed for later rounds.

6. Looking Forward: NJCAA’s Impact on Competitive Cheer Coaching

The NJCAA’s adoption of multi-round formats brings a new dimension to cheerleading, providing athletes with more opportunities to showcase their skills and perform under varied conditions. This shift requires coaches to rethink traditional training methods, focusing on endurance, mental resilience, and strategic planning. As this format grows, coaches will need to emphasize flexibility and adaptability to remain competitive.

As the NJCAA aims to host more events like this, expect other programs to join in, creating a national circuit that could further elevate the sport at the collegiate level. This moment marks the beginning of a more inclusive and competitive cheer environment, where athletes have more chances to showcase their skills and teams can develop more comprehensive strategies to succeed.

Published August 19, 2024

Cheerleading has long been associated with American sports culture, but the sport has been experiencing a significant global expansion in recent years. This trend was particularly evident at the 2024 ICU World Cheerleading Championships, where several countries showcased their prowess, signaling a shift in the competitive cheerleading landscape. Among the standout nations were Japan, Australia, and Norway, each making significant strides and proving that cheerleading is truly becoming a global sport.

Team Japan: Rising to the Top in International Cheerleading

Japan’s ascent in competitive cheer has been nothing short of remarkable. Over the past decade, Japan has evolved from a country primarily known for its success in dance categories to a formidable contender in cheerleading, particularly in the Coed Elite division. This transformation is a testament to the country’s dedication to excellence and the strategic efforts made by Cheer Japan, the organization responsible for nurturing and developing the nation’s cheerleading talent.

Evolution

Cheerleading in Japan has a rich history, supported by several key organizations, including Cheer Japan, which was founded in 2010. Initially, Japan made a strong impact in dance categories, such as Freestyle Pom and Hip Hop, where they consistently placed in the top ranks at international competitions. However, the nation’s ambitions extended beyond dance, leading to the formation of All-Girl and Coed Elite teams that would eventually compete at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships.

Japan’s Coed Elite team made its debut in 2014, but it wasn’t until 2023 that they secured their first gold medal, a historic moment that marked Japan’s emergence as a top contender in cheerleading. This victory was the result of meticulous preparation, including nationwide tryouts and rigorous training sessions held weekly. These efforts paid off, with the team making it to the finals for the first time and ultimately taking home the gold

Standout Athletes and Coaches

The success of Japan’s cheerleading teams can be attributed to both the athletes’ dedication and the expertise of their coaches. For example, Sonoka Kasahara, the head coach of the Coed Elite team, played a crucial role in leading the team to their historic victory in 2023. Under Kasahara’s guidance, the athletes engaged in a disciplined training regime that included stunt and tumbling homework, as well as intensive practice sessions in Florida just before the championship. This level of preparation was unprecedented for the team and demonstrated a new level of commitment that propelled them to the top

Additionally, the athletes themselves have shown remarkable resilience and skill. Many of the team members had never competed at such a high level before, making their achievement even more impressive. The win in 2023 is likely just the beginning. They clearly have momentum 🙂

Team Australia: A Consistent Cheer Powerhouse

Australia has cemented its place as a formidable force in the cheerleading world, particularly in the Coed and All-Girl divisions. The country’s consistent performances at international competitions, especially at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships, highlight the depth of talent and the strong cheerleading culture that has been cultivated over the years.

A Legacy of Success

Australia’s cheerleading history is marked by steady growth and increasing success on the global stage. The Australian Cheer Union (ACU) has played a pivotal role in this development, bringing together the nation’s top talent to compete at the highest levels. The ACU’s strategic approach includes rigorous selection processes, where athletes from across the country are chosen to represent Australia in various international events. This method has proven effective, as seen in their impressive performances at the 2023 and 2024 ICU World Cheerleading Championships.

In 2023, Australia had one of its most successful showings, with all teams placing in the top five in their respective divisions. The All Girl Elite team secured a historic gold medal, marking Australia’s first World Championship title in this category. Meanwhile, the Coed Elite team earned a silver medal, showcasing the country’s competitive edge across multiple divisions. These achievements were not just a testament to the athletes’ skills but also to the exceptional coaching and preparation that went into these performances.

Standout Athletes and Coaches

Key to Australia’s success has been the dedication and expertise of its coaches, such as Derrick Turner, the head coach of the All Girl Elite team, and Eddie Davey, who leads the Coed Elite team. These coaches have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what Australian cheerleading can achieve, focusing on refining techniques, building team cohesion, and fostering a competitive spirit that has propelled the teams to international success.

Athletes from Team Australia have consistently demonstrated their prowess, with many standout performances that have caught the attention of the global cheerleading community. The training regimen for these athletes is intense, with preparation involving multiple training camps across Australia and final practice sessions held just before major competitions in the USA. This level of commitment from both coaches and athletes has been a significant factor in Australia’s rise as a cheerleading powerhouse

Team Norway Cheer: Emerging Contenders

Norway has been making significant strides in the international cheerleading scene, particularly in the All-Girl and Coed Premier divisions. While the country may not have traditionally been seen as a cheerleading powerhouse, recent performances at global events like the ICU World Cheerleading Championships have shown that Norway is quickly becoming a formidable contender.

A History of Growth and Success

Norway’s cheerleading journey began with a slow and steady rise, primarily driven by the efforts of teams like the Viqueens Cheerleaders. The Viqueens, one of Norway’s most prominent cheerleading clubs, have played a pivotal role in elevating the country’s status on the world stage. Their team, Viqueens Spirit, has been competing internationally since 2011, steadily improving their performances over the years. In 2024, they achieved a monumental victory by winning their first-ever gold medal at The Cheerleading Worlds in the L7 International Open division. This win was the culmination of over a decade of hard work, dedication, and a strong culture of excellence within the team

Standout Teams and Athletes

The Viqueens Spirit team is known for its rigorous training and the exceptional talent of its athletes. Notably, many members of this team also represent Norway at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships, demonstrating their versatility and high skill level across different competitions. In 2024, the Norwegian All-Girl Elite team, which included several athletes from the Viqueens, secured a spot on the podium, finishing just behind the United States and Finland. This achievement highlighted the depth of talent in Norway and underscored the country’s growing competitiveness on the international stage

Coaching and Development

The success of Norwegian cheerleading can be largely attributed to the quality of its coaching. Coaches like Nathalie Brøndrup, who have a deep connection to the sport both as former athletes and now as coaches, have been instrumental in building a culture of hard work and resilience. Brøndrup, for example, emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong, fighting spirit within the team, which has been a cornerstone of their success

In addition to coaching, Norway’s national cheerleading programs have benefited from structured development strategies, including regular training camps, participation in European and global championships, and a focus on technical skill development. Events like the ICU European Cheerleading Championships, hosted in Norway in 2024, have further provided a platform for Norwegian teams to compete at a high level and gain invaluable experience

As cheer continues to evolve, these countries are likely to remain at the forefront, inspiring others to elevate their programs. The future of cheerleading is undeniably global, and the sport is better for it.

From Silver to Gold: The Remarkable Journey of Extreme All Stars Lvl X

The Remarkable Journey of Extreme All Stars Lvl X

Published June 14, 2024

For Extreme All Stars gym owner Mandy Field, winning a world championship was a dream that seemed almost unreachable. The team has always worked tirelessly, season after season, but the talent pool in competitive cheer is vast… and let’s say…formidable. However, after clinching the silver medal at the 2023 Cheerleading Worlds, she sensed that her team was on the cusp of something extraordinary.

A Season Fueled by Determination

“Every single athlete after awards were like, ‘We’re doing it next year. Next year is our year!’” Field recalls. “From our first practice, they were declaring they were going to be World Champions.” This unwavering confidence set the tone for the entire season, with the team adopting the motto, “Speak it into existence.”

Overcoming Adversity

The road to the 2024 Cheerleading Worlds was anything but smooth. The season was marked by significant challenges, including numerous injuries. As a D2 gym, Extreme All Stars didn’t have the luxury of a large pool of substitute athletes. This meant long, grueling practices and additional training days. Despite these hurdles, the team’s dedication never wavered.

“We had a time in the season that we practiced for 30 days straight,” Field explained. “We never had a day off because we were having one injury after another. We are a smaller gym, so it was a big challenge, but the kids never batted an eye. It’s been their mission all season, and they made sure it happened. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Building Momentum

The team’s determination began to pay off at the CHEERSPORT Nationals, where Lvl X hit zero deductions on both days and secured first place out of 11 teams. This victory was a turning point and a manifestation of their world champion aspirations. “We passed around a piece of paper, and everyone wrote on it, ‘I am going to be a World Champion,’” Field said. “We ended every practice saying, ‘We are World Champions.’”

The Final Push

As the 2024 Cheerleading Worlds approached, the team faced yet another setback: a serious injury to a key athlete. The uncertainty was palpable, but the athlete managed to compete, albeit without tumbling, delivering an incredible performance.

“It was a stressful weekend for us,” Field said. “She was able to compete but just not tumble and pulled off an amazing routine.”

The Moment of Truth

All the stress, hard work, and determination culminated in a defining moment. Lvl X was in first place after the semi-finals in the L6 Limited Senior XSmall Coed division. They returned for the finals and delivered a flawless zero-deduction routine. The anticipation was electric as the announcers declared, “And your 2024 World Champions… Extreme All Stars Lvl X!”

“It took 26 years of building the gym for that to happen,” Field reflected. “It was always my ultimate goal with coaching, but it almost didn’t seem real. You work so hard for that moment, put in so much time and passion, and then when it happens, you almost need to pinch yourself to make sure it’s real. I was so grateful that the kids actually got to see the reward of hard work.”

A Journey Come Full Circle

This victory marked the program’s first-ever World Championship win, a testament to the team’s perseverance and belief. From D2 Summit titles, NCA titles, competing in level 6, stepping back to level 5, and ultimately taking second place in 2023, the journey of Extreme All Stars Lvl X has been nothing short of remarkable.

“They stuck with it. They didn’t go somewhere else; they trusted that we would one day pull it back together. They worked every day just as hard on a level 5 team as they did when we got to level 6 again,” Field said.

The story of Extreme All Stars Lvl X is a powerful reminder that hard work and determination do pay off. Their journey from silver to gold, overcoming countless obstacles, and achieving their dream of becoming world champions, is an inspiration to cheerleaders everywhere. As Field puts it, “It’s been their mission all season, and they made sure it happened. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

This year’s NCA College Cheer Nationals, held from April 11-13 in Daytona Beach, Florida, proved that not even stormy skies could dampen the spirit of collegiate cheerleading. Originally slated for the picturesque outdoor setting by the iconic Daytona Coquina clock tower, inclement weather forced the event indoors, turning it into an unexpected yet equally thrilling display of cheer excellence.

Reflections on the Event:

The 2024 NCA College Cheer Nationals not only showcased the athletic prowess of collegiate cheerleaders but also highlighted their remarkable ability to adapt and excel under unexpected pressure. The last-minute shift indoors due to the inclement weather could have unsettled many, but instead, it reinforced the strength and resilience of all participating teams. The enclosed setting of the venue added a unique intimacy to the event, amplifying the spirit and energy of each performance. This closeness allowed athletes and spectators alike to connect more deeply, feeling every chant and cheer right in their bones, making every stunt and formation seem more impactful.

As the vibrant echoes of the 2024 Nationals slowly fade, the robust spirit of the event firmly lingers—a vivid testament to the unyielding passion and resilience within the cheer community. This year’s unexpected challenges only deepened the bonds among teams and spectators, showcasing that the heart of cheerleading thrives on both competition and camaraderie. Looking forward to next year, the NCA College Cheer Nationals aims to return under clearer skies, promising to leverage the extraordinary experiences of this year to elevate the event further. No matter the setting, the essence of the Nationals will always revolve around fierce competition, unwavering support, and the shared love for cheer

Published March 26, 2024

Ever since Joe Rogan packed up his stuff in LA and set his sights on Austin, Texas, he kinda started a whole new trend. Now it seems like everyone from every corner of the country is eyeing Texas as their next big move. This Lone Star State migration isn’t about barbecue and cowboy boots (though I’m def on board with both lol). It’s sparking a massive transformation across various industries, including the cheer scene, which, as we all know. has exploded into a billion-dollar behemoth in the last 10 years or so. Texas is 100% leading the charge, turning what used to be sideline spectacle into a competitive, global powerhouse.

Texas AllStar Cheer Dance

From Sidelines to Center Stage

The narrative of cheerleading’s rise is epitomized by the journey of Bill Seely, a former collegiate athlete who, after a skiing accident, found his calling in cheerleading. His ascent to the presidency of Varsity Spirit symbolizes the sport’s transition from an underestimated activity to a competitive, global enterprise. Varsity Spirit, under Seely’s leadership, epitomizes the industry’s success, generating substantial revenue and influencing cheer culture worldwide.

Dallas-Fort Worth: A Hub of Cheerleading Excellence

Dallas-Fort Worth has played a crucial role in cheerleading’s explosive growth. Hosting over 40 competitions annually, including the prestigious National Cheerleader’s Association’s All-Star National Championship, the region not only showcases athletic prowess but significantly contributes to the local economy. These events, drawing thousands of participants and spectators, underscore the area’s significance in the cheerleading world.

Texas’ Premier Cheer Gyms and Programs

Texas is home to a plethora of esteemed cheer gyms and programs that have consistently pushed the boundaries of the sport. These institutions serve as the backbone of the cheer community, offering training and competitive opportunities for athletes at all levels.

Texas has solidified its position as a hotbed for the competitive cheer industry, a sector that’s increasingly recognized for its athleticism, discipline, and entertainment value. The state’s enthusiasm for cheerleading is reflected in its myriad of gyms and programs that are dedicated to fostering talent from the grassroots level to elite competitive teams. This thriving ecosystem is not just about the athletes but also includes a cadre of experienced coaches and supportive communities that together fuel the cheerleading fervor across the Lone Star State.

One standout gym is Texas Cheer Allstars, celebrated for its commitment to empowering athletes of all skill levels. The gym prides itself on creating a nurturing environment where every athlete feels valued, fostering not just physical skills but also character and self-esteem through the sport. Texas Cheer Allstars has made a significant mark by winning several National Championships, testament to their excellence in training and athlete development.

Another notable mention is Texas AllStar Cheer & Dance, serving the North Austin/Pflugerville/Round Rock/Hutto area as a premier competitive cheer gym. Their mission centers around promoting the sport of cheer and developing athletes to their highest potential within a positive environment that encourages discipline, commitment, and integrity. Offering a variety of competitive cheer teams, tumble classes, as well as preschool and after-school training programs, Texas AllStar Cheer & Dance exemplifies the comprehensive approach to athlete development.

The Cheer Factory in Baytown, Cheer Station in Austin, and Cheer Texas in Amarillo further exemplify the diversity and reach of competitive cheer in Texas. Each gym brings its unique strengths to the table, from Cheer Factory’s emphasis on all levels of cheerleading, to Cheer Texas’s impressive track record of over 60 National Titles and appearances at the Cheerleading Worlds.

Texas Elite Allstars, located in Converse, aims to offer a team for every skill level, from novices to advanced athletes aiming for level 4 competitions. Their detailed programming ensures athletes are placed on teams that match their abilities, ensuring both personal growth and competitive success.

Express Cheer in Frisco further highlights the cheerleading culture in Texas, with programs that cater to both elite competitors and those new to the sport. Their comprehensive offerings, including the Express All-Stars elite competitive cheer program and various tumbling classes, showcase their dedication to training champions and changing lives.

Full Force Cheer distinguishes itself with all levels of all-star cheerleading, including a Level 6 Worlds Team, showcasing their “large gym” skills despite being a smaller facility. Their focus on competitive cheerleading and dedication to creating the ultimate team sport experience speaks to the depth of talent and commitment within Texas’ cheerleading community.

Cheer’s Economic and Cultural Impact in Texas

Beyond the athletic achievement, cheerleading has become a significant economic force in Texas. The sport’s ability to draw large crowds and fill hotels and restaurants during competitions speaks to its financial impact. Moreover, the presence of cheerleading companies and apparel manufacturers in the state further amplifies its economic contribution.

Looking Ahead

With cheerleading recognized by the International Olympic Committee, the sport is on the brink of even greater global expansion. Texas, with its rich cheerleading culture and infrastructure, is poised to play a central role in this growth. The state’s commitment to nurturing talent and hosting premier events will undoubtedly influence cheerleading’s trajectory on the world stage.

Texas’ role in the evolution of cheerleading is undeniable. From fostering grassroots enthusiasm to hosting world-class competitions, the state has become synonymous with cheerleading excellence. As the sport continues to grow, both in popularity and economic significance, Texas will undoubtedly remain at its epicenter, driving innovation and inspiring future generations of cheerleaders.

Cheer Competition Scoring Systems: USASF vs. UCA

Cheer Competition Scoring Systems USASF vs UCA

Published February 12, 2024

Understanding the intricacies of scoring systems can be as challenging as executing a perfect routine. Lately, social media has been buzzing with coaches expressing confusion over why certain elements are rewarded in one competition but not another, especially when comparing All-Star (USASF) and Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) competitions. This article aims to offer clarity to coaches, athletes, and anybody else who is confused by these systems.

All-Star Scoring

All-Star competitions use a comprehensive scoring system to evaluate routines, focusing on elements such as building skills, tumbling skills, and the overall routine presentation.

competitive cheerleading scoring

The USASF cheerleading score sheet is divided into three main sections: Building Skills (which includes stunts, pyramids, tosses, and the number of athletes performing stunts), Tumbling Skills (encompassing standing tumbling, running tumbling, and jumps), and Overall Routine (which evaluates the routine’s composition, performance, and dance elements). The starting point for teams is typically a base score from which judges can add points for difficulty, execution, and creativity

Scoring emphasizes technique, accounting for a significant portion of the total score. This approach encourages teams to execute skills with precision over merely attempting difficult skills. Judges look for proper technique across all elements, and the scoring system is designed to reward teams that showcase clean, technically sound performances. The creativity and composition of the routine also play a crucial role, influencing the overall impression and effectiveness of the performance.

The United Scoring System, for example, outlines specific criteria for tumbling and jump difficulty, with points allocated based on the number of athletes performing the required skills and the complexity of those skills. This system also includes categories for routine creativity and the execution of formations and transitions, emphasizing the importance of innovation and precision in the routine’s design.

The U.S. All Star Federation (USASF) has developed a standard scoring system for competitive cheerleading, which is centered on level-appropriate skills and difficulty. This system has been collaboratively developed with input from industry experts, coaches, and judges, aiming to foster trust in the judging process and provide teams with a tool for evaluating and improving their performances.

In essence, the USASF score sheet is a detailed framework designed to objectively evaluate the various aspects of a cheerleading routine, from technical execution to artistic expression, ensuring that teams are scored fairly and consistently across competitions.

UCA Scoring System

The Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) utilizes a detailed scoring system for its competitive cheerleading events, which is designed to evaluate teams across a variety of components. The system is structured to ensure that performances are judged fairly and consistently, with a focus on various aspects of cheerleading, including performance routines and game day routines.

For performance routines, the UCA scoring system evaluates teams on a 100-point scale, with specific portions of the score allocated to cheer (35 points) and music sections (65 points). These sections are averaged and then combined for the final score. Deductions or violations are subtracted from the final averaged score. The criteria used for scoring are detailed on the UCA score sheet, which assesses the team’s execution, synchronization, and overall performance quality.

In addition to performance routines, UCA also emphasizes the importance of game day routines, which showcase traditional cheerleading elements such as crowd leading and the use of game day props (signs, poms, flags, megaphones). Teams are judged on their ability to engage the crowd, incorporate game day skills effectively, and their overall routine execution. Skills such as stunts, jumps, tumbling, and dance can be integrated into any or all sections of the game day performance.

UCA’s scoring system also addresses procedural aspects, such as how to handle interruptions during a performance due to unforeseen circumstances, fault of the team, or injury. The guidelines outline the steps to be taken in each scenario, ensuring fairness and safety for all participants.

For more detailed information on UCA’s scoring system, including specific score sheets for different divisions and events, you can visit the UCA section on Varsity’s website. This resource provides comprehensive insights into the rules, scoring, and expectations for teams competing in UCA events, ensuring that coaches and athletes have a clear understanding of what is required to achieve success in competitive cheerleading.

Key Differences and Why They Matter

  • Focus: All-Star competitions prioritize a broad range of skills, including advanced tumbling and acrobatics, rewarding technical difficulty and innovation. UCA competitions, in contrast, emphasize crowd leading abilities and spirit-raising activities, with a significant portion of the score derived from how effectively a team can engage and lead a crowd.
  • Scoring Emphasis: The All-Star system places a larger emphasis on technique and execution over difficulty, whereas UCA balances between cheerleading fundamentals and performance quality, with specific allocations for cheer and music portions.
  • Adaptability: Teams transitioning between these two types of competitions must adapt their routines to meet the distinct scoring criteria. What works in an All-Star competition, focusing on technical prowess and innovation, might not have the same impact in a UCA event, where crowd interaction and traditional cheer elements are key.

Understanding the nuances between the All-Star and UCA scoring systems can help coaches and athletes better prepare for competitions, ensuring their routines are tailored to the specific criteria of each event. By recognizing the unique focus of each system, teams can strategize effectively, enhancing their performance and maximizing their scores across the competitive cheer landscape.

The conversations online highlight a valuable point: success in competitive cheer requires not just athletic excellence but also a strategic approach to choreography and routine planning that aligns with the scoring system of each competition. Whether aiming for the dynamic and technically demanding All-Star events or the spirited and traditional UCA competitions, a sense of clarity on these scoring systems can make all the difference in whether your team hits or not.

Fusion Elite All Stars vs Varsity Brands

Varsity vs Fusion Elite Decision
17
Jan

By Steve Pawlyk

Published January 17, 2024

Competitive cheer has been significantly impacted by a major antitrust lawsuit, Fusion Elite All Stars, et.al. v. Varsity Brands LLC, et.al. This case, which has garnered substantial attention within the cheerleading community, involves allegations of monopolistic practices against Varsity Brands, a prominent company in the All Star Cheerleading industry. The lawsuit was brought forth by All Star gyms and All Star event spectators, accusing Varsity Brands of unfair business practices in collaboration with the US All-Star Federation (USASF).

Fusion allstars cheerleader

Background of the Case

Varsity Brands, known for its influence in the cheerleading competition and apparel markets, has been accused of colluding with the USASF to monopolize the All Star Cheer Events market. The plaintiffs in the case alleged that Varsity Brands engaged in systematic acquisitions of rival event companies, imposed exclusionary contracts and loyalty programs on All Star gyms, and used the USASF to control bids to key national championships.

Settlement and Its Terms

In a significant development, Varsity Brands agreed to pay $43.5 million to settle this long-running antitrust class action. As part of the settlement, Varsity and USASF agreed to several conditions to reduce Varsity’s influence over the sport’s governing body. Notable terms include preventing Varsity board members from simultaneously serving on USASF’s board, limiting Varsity’s participation in USASF’s board and sanctioning committee, and restrictions on requiring attendance at All Star events for receiving rebates or discounts.

Implications for Competitive Cheerleading

The implications of the Fusion Elite All Stars v. Varsity Brands case for competitive cheerleading are profound and multifaceted, affecting market dynamics, governance, fairness, and legal precedent. Let’s delve deeper into each of these aspects:

1. Market Dynamics

The settlement in this antitrust lawsuit is expected to significantly alter the competitive landscape of cheerleading events. Prior to this case, Varsity Brands held a dominant position in the market, which may have limited competition and innovation. With the new terms set by the settlement:

  • Increased Competition: There will likely be more opportunities for new and smaller event organizers to enter the market. This could lead to a greater variety of competitions, potentially at different price points and with varied formats, benefiting teams and athletes.
  • Diverse Event Offerings: Teams and athletes might have access to a wider range of events, including those with different judging criteria or focusing on various aspects of cheerleading, such as stunting or choreography.
  • Enhanced Innovation: With increased competition, event organizers might innovate more in terms of event management, athlete experience, and audience engagement.

2. Governance and Fairness

The case underscores the critical need for fair and transparent governance within sports organizations. As a result of the lawsuit:

  • Governance Reforms: The cheerleading industry might see reforms in how governing bodies like USASF operate, with a push for more democratic and transparent decision-making processes.
  • Athlete-Centric Policies: There could be a shift towards more athlete-centric policies, ensuring that the needs and rights of athletes are at the forefront of all decisions.
  • Fair Access and Opportunities: The case may lead to more equitable rules regarding team participation in events, ensuring that all teams have a fair chance to compete and succeed, regardless of their affiliation with specific organizations.

3. Legal Precedent

The settlement sets a significant legal precedent, particularly concerning antitrust issues in amateur and semi-professional sports:

  • Broader Implications for Sports Law: This case may influence future antitrust cases in other sports, serving as a reference point for how monopolistic practices are addressed in the sporting domain.
  • Empowering Smaller Entities: Smaller teams and organizations now have a precedent to reference if they face similar issues, potentially leading to more legal challenges against dominant players in various sports.
  • Awareness and Education: The publicity surrounding this case raises awareness among athletes, coaches, and sports administrators about antitrust laws and their applicability to the sports sector.

The Fusion Elite All Stars v. Varsity Brands case marks a turning point in the cheer industry. Its resolution not only impacts Varsity Brands and the USASF but also sets a framework for how competitive sports organizations should operate in a fair and competitive environment. As the cheerleading community adapts to these changes, it paves the way for a more equitable and dynamic future for the

Australian Cheer: Rising Stars & Legends

Posted on by IPP Music
Australian Cheer Rising Stars Legends

By Steve Pawlyk

Published January 15, 2024

From the inspiring story of Mia Wansbrough who lead Southern Cross Lady Reign to a historic victory, to the young and formidable Matilda Karipa dominating the under 12 Novice Youth Division, today we’re gonna discuss the athletes of note in Australia’s cheer world. Highlighting the discipline of Atomic Blackout, as they balance the physical demands and financial commitments of cheer with their deep passion for the sport. As well as the notable achievements of the Australian Cheer Union (ACU) at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships, and the ambitious journey of a young talent, Loghan Sculthorpe, aiming for international glory. Together, these stories paint a vivid picture of the resilience, dedication, and community spirit that underpin Australian cheer.

Mia Wansbrough Cheerleading

The Story of Mia Wansbrough and Southern Cross Lady Reign

Mia Wansbrough’s journey with the Southern Cross Lady Reign team to the 2021 International Cheerleading Worlds is a remarkable tale of resilience, innovation, and triumph. At 23, Mia balanced her dedication to cheerleading with academic pursuits, having recently graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology and Genetics. Her academic focus on the genetic variation in thermal plasticity of Drosophila melanogaster during her honors in genetics complemented her rigorous training for the world championship.

As the pandemic hit, Mia and her Melbourne-based team faced unprecedented challenges. They adapted to the new norm of remote training, practicing their high-energy routines via Zoom. Their living rooms and backyards became their new training grounds, and they transformed the limitations into opportunities for growth and innovation.

The 2021 International Cheerleading Worlds, held virtually due to COVID-19, posed a unique challenge as teams had to perform in the absence of the electrifying atmosphere typically found in a live competition setting. Mia, as a “flier” for Southern Cross Lady Reign, had to adapt her routines for a virtual format, performing intricate mid-air maneuvers without the physical presence of her teammates. Their training sessions in an empty gym in Northcote starkly contrasted the vibrant Wide World of Sports arena at Disney World in Florida, where the event was initially planned to be held.

Despite these obstacles, the team’s resilience shone through. Under the guidance of their coach, Momoko Hamaguchi, they not only maintained but strengthened their team bond. Mia, alongside her teammate Caitlin Dagher, a law/psychology student, exemplified the team’s spirit and determination. Their hard work culminated in a historic victory, earning the first gold medal for an Australian team in this prestigious event.

Mia’s dual dedication to her academic career as a Research Officer at Monash University and her passion for cheerleading epitomizes the multifaceted nature of modern athletes. Her story with Southern Cross Lady Reign is an inspiration, demonstrating that with hard work, adaptability, and team unity, athletes can overcome even the most daunting challenges and achieve greatness.

Matilda Karipa

Matilda Karipa, a young cheerleader from Caboolture, Australia, has shown remarkable talent and dedication in the world of competitive cheerleading. At just 7 years old, Matilda and her All-Star cheerleading team, The Commanders, achieved impressive success by winning gold medals in all five major cheer competitions they entered this year. These competitions included State, National, and Majors, where they competed in the under 12 Novice Youth Division. This success marks Matilda’s first year in competitive cheerleading, a step up from the semi-competitive Cheer Sport category she participated in for the previous two years.

Driven by her passion for cheerleading, Matilda transitioned from gymnastics to cheerleading, finding it at her dance academy. She quickly excelled in the sport, even competing with a broken arm from an unrelated injury, showcasing her resilience and commitment. Despite being the youngest and smallest on her team, Matilda’s role as a flyer places her at the top of the pyramid, performing her favorite stunts. She dreams of someday competing in America and continues to practice cheerleading alongside her other passion, horse riding.

Matilda’s story is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and a love for the sport, making her an inspiration to aspiring young cheerleaders everywhere

Atomic Blackout

The Australian cheerleading team Atomic Blackout has been making waves with their dynamic and thrilling performances. As described in a YouTube video, the team’s routines are a blend of fear and excitement, especially for the flyers who kickstart the performances with tumbling, followed by pyramid formations that can reach up to three stories high, involving three or four groups. The routine concludes with a massive dance sequence, captivating the audience with their energy and precision.

Loghan Sculthorpe cheerleader

Loghan Sculthorpe

Loghan Sculthorpe, a 13-year-old cheerleading talent from Port Macquarie, Australia, is embarking on an inspiring journey to represent Australia at the International Cheer Union (ICU) World Cheerleading Championships 2024 in Orlando, Florida. This prestigious event offers Loghan an unparalleled opportunity to showcase her skills on an international stage.

To make this dream a reality, a GoFundMe campaign has been initiated to cover the costs associated with international travel and training. These expenses include flights, accommodations, competition fees, and other related costs. The fundraising effort is a testament to the community’s support for Loghan’s aspirations and the recognition of their potential in the sport of cheer. If you’d like to donate, you can do so here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-loghan-to-cheer-for-australia/donations

The stories of Matilda Karipa, Atomic Blackout, the Australian Cheer Union (ACU), and Loghan Sculthorpe embody the spirit, dedication, and growing prowess of Australian cheerleading. Matilda’s early achievements, despite being new to the competitive scene, highlight the potential and tenacity of young athletes in the sport. Atomic Blackout’s disciplined approach and commitment to training, alongside their financial sacrifices, showcase the serious athletic rigor of cheerleading in Australia. The ACU’s success on the world stage, with Team Australia’s historic win at the ICU World Championships, cements Australia’s position as a formidable competitor internationally.

こんにちは、チアリーディングファンのみなさん！今日は、とってもワクワクするニュースをお届けしますよ。熊本大学が、なんと世界チアリーディング選手権で日本初の金メダルを獲得したんです！これはすごい快挙ですよね。

Japanese Kumamoto University Cheerleading World Championships

もちろんです、こちらがその内容を日常的な日本語での翻訳です。

やあ、みんな！今回は、2023年11月に群馬県の高崎アリーナで開催された第11回世界チアリーディング選手権のすごい話をしよう。この大会、コロナの影響でしばらく開催されなかったんだけど、久しぶりに戻ってきて、18カ国から100以上のチームが集まったんだよ。

そしてね、熊本大学チアリーディングクラブの藤森勇気さんが、混合小グループ部門で金メダルを獲得したんだ。これ、日本人としては初めての快挙なんだよ！コロナのせいで練習もままならない中、彼とチームはあきらめずに頑張って、世界大会で目立つ成績を収めたんだ。

高崎はチアリーディングを熱くサポートする街として知られていて、この大会を3回目の開催。競技はエネルギッシュで、創造性とアスリートの才能が詰まったパフォーマンスで、観客を魅了したんだ。

しかも、この大会は第35回全日本大学選手権と同時に行われて、国際的な選手と国内の選手が同じステージで腕を競い合ったんだよ。そのせいで、もっと多くの人が集まって、さらに盛り上がったんだ。

今年の大会の大成功で、もう次の世界選手権への期待も高まっているよ。これからもチアリーディングの世界は、もっとワクワクする展開が待ってるはずだね！

チームワークは、熊本大学チアリーディングチームが世界選手権で金メダルを獲得する上で重要な要素でした。チームメンバーは高校生から社会人まで幅広く、関東や関西など遠方から集まっていたため、信頼関係の構築と技術の磨き上げが特に重要でした。これは、チアリーディングが個々の技術だけでなく、メンバー全員の協力によって成り立つスポーツであることを示しています。
 
藤森勇気さんは、11回目の世界チアリーディング選手権にて混合小グループ部門で日本代表として参加し、金メダルを獲得しました。彼の成功は、チームメンバー間の強い絆と共同の努力の結果でした。大会中、会場からの「日本！日本！」という声援がチーム全員に力を与え、パフォーマンス終了後の勝利発表時には、チームメンバーとコーチが喜びで抱き合いました。
 
チアリーディングでは、スタントやタンブリングなど、ほとんどの技術が複数人での協力を必要とします。練習や大会でのサポート、意思決定、責任感の共有、指導とフィードバックはチームワークを構築する上で不可欠な要素です。これらの要素は、チームの成功に寄与するだけでなく、個人の成長にも大きく貢献します。日本のチアダンス界では、チームワークが強みとされ、これが国際大会での成功につながっています。
 
Yuki Fujimori Gold Medal

このように、熊本大学チアリーディングチームの成功は、単に技術の高さだけでなく、チームワークという大きな力によってもたらされたものです。彼らの情熱とコミットメントは、学校に誇りをもたらすと同時に、日本のチアリーディング界に新たな光を当てています。

The Torrey Pines High School cheer squad etched their name in history on December 2nd by clinching the prestigious CIF San Diego Section championship. This victory was not just a testament to their athletic prowess but also a culmination of dedication, team spirit, and relentless hard work.

Journey to the Championship

In an astounding display of athleticism and team spirit, the Torrey Pines High School competitive cheer squad clinched the CIF San Diego Section championship in the Small Group Division II. The event, held at Montgomery High School on December 2nd, witnessed the Falcons showcasing a flawless routine that earned them this prestigious title.

Renowned for their impeccable performances, the team’s winning routine was a product of creative collaboration. Choreographed by Anna Haskell, a former NFL cheerleader and collegiate dancer, the music routine resonated with dynamism and energy. Complementing this, the cheer choreography, crafted by Head Coach Olivia Bogert, who also teaches AP literature and creative writing at Torrey Pines, added layers of sophistication and technique to the performance.

The Championship Day

On December 2nd, the Torrey Pines High School competitive cheer squad delivered a breathtaking performance at the CIF San Diego Section championship in Small Group Division II, held at Montgomery High School. Their routine, a blend of stunts, tumbling, jumping, dancing, and chants, was meticulously crafted over months of preparation. The choreography prepared by Anna Haskell and Head Coach Olivia Bogert, highlighted their exceptional skill in execution, technique, and difficulty. This performance not only won them the championship title but also marked their first victory in Traditional Cheer Competition and their first playoff appearance since competitive cheer was recognized as a sport. Their success at this event is a historic milestone for Torrey Pines and sets the stage for their next challenge: the CIF State Championships.

The CIF Regional Cheer Championships, a gathering of 56 high school squads from across San Diego, is the arena where these teams vied for the top spot at various levels. Torrey Pines High School, standing out among these contenders, marked a historic moment by winning their first Traditional Cheer Competition championship. This victory was even more significant as it was their first playoff appearance since competitive cheer was acknowledged as a sport by the California Interscholastic Federation.

The rigorous preparation for this championship started in early October, with the team dedicating three to four sessions weekly after school and on weekends. Their two-and-a-half-minute routine, encompassing stunts, tumbling, jumping, dancing, and chants, was evaluated on execution, technique, and the difficulty degree. This dedicated preparation period was instrumental in honing their skills to perfection.

With this remarkable achievement, the Torrey Pines competitive cheer team is now gearing up for the next challenge – the CIF State Championships, scheduled at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, California, on January 27th. Here, they will compete against the top high school cheer teams in the state, aiming to add a California championship title to their accolades.

This triumph not only underscores the team’s exceptional talent and hard work but also sets a new standard of excellence for the Torrey Pines High School cheer program. As they prepare for the upcoming state championships, the squad carries with them the momentum of this victory and the support and pride of their school and community.

Music Playback at Cheer Competitions: Apps, Best Practices, and the Case for MP3 Players

Music Playback at Cheer Competitions Apps Best Practices and the Case for MP3 Players

By Steve Pawlyk

Published November 16, 2023

At competitions coaches face the critical task of ensuring flawless music playback during competitions. With routines heavily reliant on music for cues and timing, the right technology and preparation can make all the difference. Today, let’s explore some apps that can make this a smooth process

Top Music Apps for Seamless Playback

In the bustling environment of cheer competitions, reliable music playback is non-negotiable. For coaches wielding iOS and Android devices, the quest for the perfect music app ends with options that guarantee smooth offline playback.

reliable music players cheer
  • Musify: A versatile app available on both platforms, Musify is a godsend for those without an extensive personal music collection. Its offline capabilities ensure that cheer routines are never at the mercy of spotty internet connections.
  • Pulsar Music Player: This app shines across Android, iOS, and Chrome, boasting a user-friendly interface and reliable offline playback that make it a top pick for coaches on-the-go.
  • GoneMAD Music Player: Exclusive to Android, GoneMAD is celebrated for its customizable nature and audio enhancements, making it ideal for those seeking a personalized music experience.
  • AIMP: Known for supporting a multitude of audio formats, AIMP is an Android favorite for coaches who require flexibility and no-fuss access to their curated playlists.
  • Poweramp Music Player: With its high-level customization and powerful audio features, Poweramp for Android ensures that every beat of your cheer mix is heard loud and clear.

Switching to iOS, the selection is just as impressive:

  • VOX – MP3 & FLAC Music Player: VOX stands out with its support for high-resolution audio, ensuring that every cheer routine is accompanied by crystal-clear sound.
  • Cs Music Player: Tapping into the Apple Music ecosystem, Cs Music Player offers a minimalist and efficient way to manage and play your already-amassed collection, both from local storage and the iCloud Music Library.

These apps are more than just tools; they’re the backstage heroes ensuring every jump, stunt, and tumble is performed in perfect harmony with the music.

Best Practices for Device Handoff

A smooth handoff of your device to the sound engineer is critical. Here are some refined practices to ensure your team’s performance sounds as good as it looks:

  • Pre-Event Preparation: Rigorous preparation is key. Besides disabling notifications and downloading music, consider a rehearsal run to ensure tracks play in the correct order. Equip your device with a durable case for protection and an ample battery pack to guard against power drain.
  • Connectivity: In addition to disabling Wi-Fi and data, consider placing the device in airplane mode with Bluetooth disabled to prevent any wireless interruptions. Ensure that all music files are properly tagged and organized for easy navigation.
  • Sound Quality: If possible, try to conduct a sound check with the engineering team to test levels. Having a high-quality DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) adapter can further enhance the sound fidelity.
  • Security: Beyond locking the device to a single app, ensure that the screen timeout is extended or disabled to prevent the device from locking during performance. Use features like Guided Access on iOS or Screen Pinning on Android to lock the device into the music app, preventing accidental swipes or taps.
iOS music apps cheer

Following these practices will minimize technical glitches and secure a performance that is as flawless technically as it is athletically.

Advantages of Using an MP3 Player

While smartphones have become the Swiss Army knife of technology, MP3 players still hold their ground, especially in scenarios demanding uninterrupted audio play, such as cheer competitions.

cheer competition music
  • Dedicated Use: MP3 players offer a single-use focus that smartphones can’t match. They are designed for one thing and one thing only: playing music. This specialization means there’s no risk of a surprise call or text popping up and disrupting a critical moment in a performance.
  • Battery Longevity: Unlike smartphones, which juggle countless tasks and apps, MP3 players are battery misers. They are built to last much longer on a single charge, ensuring that the device won’t die just as the team hits the mat.
  • User-Friendly Interfaces: The simplicity of MP3 players is their hidden strength. In the high-stakes environment of a cheer competition, the last thing a coach needs is to fumble through complex menus. MP3 players usually offer straightforward navigation that can be a lifesaver under pressure.
  • Universal Connectivity: The humble 3.5mm jack is nearly universal in MP3 players, which means virtually any sound system can interface with them without a hitch. This can be a boon in venues where the sound engineer’s setup might not be compatible with the various connectors of the latest smartphones.

In essence, an MP3 player is a coach’s reliable ally, ensuring that the music will play on cue, as planned, without any of the modern-day technological hiccups that can accompany a smartphone.

While mobile devices offer convenience, the distinct advantages of MP3 players make them a worthy consideration for any cheer coach looking to ensure a seamless performance. By using the right apps and following best practices for device handoff, coaches can minimize technical disruptions and keep the focus on the athletes’ performance.

Underdog Stories: 3 Cheer Teams that Shocked the World

Nov

By Steve Pawlyk

Published November 9, 2023

These are the tales of the Ithaca College club team’s tenacious rise, Team Australia’s historic win at the ICU World Championships, and Bangkok University’s groundbreaking gold at a prestigious international competition. Each narrative unfolds a saga of resilience, creativity, and unwavering determination, painting a vivid picture of cheerleading’s underdog champions. Join us as we recount the journeys of those who have danced in the face of adversity and emerged victorious on cheerleading’s grandest stages

ithaca-college-cheer-underdog-win-story

Ithaca College

The story of the Ithaca College cheerleading team embodies the true essence of an underdog’s journey in the competitive cheerleading arena. With no coach just before the preseason and limited resources as a club sports team, they faced an uphill battle. The cheerleaders had to rely on their determination and creativity to raise the $35,000 needed just to attend the National Cheerleaders Association collegiate cheer championship in Daytona.

Their coach, Alicia Trahan, was new to both Ithaca and the cheerleading scene at the college level. With her background in cheer from Baylor University, where she was a cheerleader on a varsity team, Alicia had to adapt quickly to the club sport environment where everything from practice clothes to competition fees required self-funding.

Despite these challenges, the team’s perseverance and unity were evident. They spent months perfecting their routine, with athletes like Rochelle MacNeil transitioning from base to flyer, facing and overcoming the daunting fear of flying. Emma Schaefer, another flyer, had to conquer her nerves to execute flawless flips during their routine. These personal battles were a microcosm of the team’s larger struggle, emblematic of the underdog spirit that drove them forward.

As the team prepared for their performance in Albany, they encountered further setbacks with injuries and last-minute lineup changes. Alicia’s decision to rest an injured cheerleader in anticipation of the main event in Daytona and to bring in a former team member, Alex Sprague, to fill in showed the agility and leadership necessary to navigate the tumultuous waters of competitive cheerleading. The adaptability and quick learning of athletes like Alex, who seamlessly integrated back into the team, underscored the resilience and resourcefulness characteristic of underdog teams.

In Albany, the Ithaca College cheerleading team’s performance, against all odds, was their best yet, culminating in a first-place victory that left the team in disbelief. Their win was a testament to their hard work, a well-deserved reward for their dedication and spirit. The team’s joyous celebration upon receiving the black banner reading “First Place” was a poignant moment, highlighting not only their triumph over adversity but also the unity and strength that had developed among them.

It’s not just about the stunts and the competitions; it’s about the journey, the struggles, and the collective heart of a team that refuses to give up, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The Ithaca College cheerleading team’s story is a powerful narrative of resilience and determination that serves as inspiration for any team facing long odds.

Team Australia

Team Australia’s cheerleading squads, comprised of the nation’s finest cheerleaders, made a historic mark at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships in Orlando, Florida. The All Girl team from Australia was crowned WORLD CHAMPIONS, marking the first year Australia has ever won the ICU World Cheerleading Championship title. Their victory is a significant achievement, demonstrating Australia’s rise as a competitive force in a sport long dominated by the United States. The coed team also won a silver medal, further solidifying Australia’s status as global contenders.

What makes their victory even more remarkable is the preparation that went into it. The teams had only three training camp weekends in Australia and just three practice sessions the week before the competition in the USA. To not only put together a routine of such high caliber but also to execute it to a level worthy of top spots at Worlds is an extraordinary feat. Derrick Turner, the head coach of Team Australia – All Girl, expressed immense pride in achieving the goal of being crowned world champions. Eddie Davey, the head coach of Team Australia – Coed Elite, commended the athletes and coaches for reaching a level of excellence previously unseen in their country.

This story is a testament to the underdog spirit, showcasing that with hard work, unity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, even teams from smaller cheerleading communities can ascend to the top of the world stage. Team Australia’s victory will undoubtedly inspire cheerleaders around the globe and serve as a powerful example of what can be accomplished when teams dare to dream big and work tirelessly to turn those dreams into reality.

Bangkok University

The Bangkok University cheerleading team, an underdog group from Thailand, carved out their place in cheerleading history with a story that reads like a script from a feel-good sports movie. Their journey, encapsulated in the documentary film “The Cheer Ambassadors,” is a testament to the spirit and determination of a team that wasn’t expected to rise to the top.

In 2011, the team achieved what many thought was impossible for a squad from a country where Western-style cheerleading was introduced in only 1995; they shared the gold medal with the US team at the Cheerleading Worlds, a feat that would put them on the world cheerleading map. This achievement followed their previous success at the 2009 ICU World Cheerleading Championships in Orlando, where they earned a silver medal, an accolade they repeated two years later.

Luke Cassady-Dorion, the director of the documentary and an American living in Thailand, was inspired to tell their story after learning of their hardships and triumphs. The Thai team started from scratch, their practice fueled by watching ESPN and YouTube clips, rehearsing from 6 pm to 6 am to adapt to the US timezone. The team’s creativity and ‘sanook’ (fun) approach to cheerleading were their strongest suits, compensating for their physical disadvantages compared to American athletes. Instead of relying on brute strength, the Thai team focused on building intricate pyramids that required immense teamwork.

The underdog story of the Bangkok University cheerleading team is not just a sports narrative but also a cultural one. They disproved the notion that Thais could not excel as a team and brought a unique Thai spirit to the global stage. Their story is one of unity, creativity, and relentless pursuit of excellence against all odds.

This extraordinary journey from underdogs to world champions is a powerful reminder that passion, teamwork, and innovation can defy expectations, inspiring cheerleading squads everywhere to reach for greatness, no matter their beginnings.

The chronicles of Ithaca College, Team Australia, and Bangkok University’s cheerleading teams embody the quintessential underdog story. Each team’s path to success — whether at national competitions, the ICU World Championships, or other international contests — showcases the incredible feats that can be achieved through perseverance and team spirit.

Their stories remind us that in the competitive world of cheer, the heart and hustle often shine brighter than trophies and titles. As these teams have proven, with the right blend of dedication, teamwork, and innovation, even the most unheralded squads can ascend to the pinnacle of cheer excellence, inspiring athletes and audiences alike with their remarkable journeys from the sidelines to the center stage of victory.

Will the USA Cheerleading Team be at the 2024 Olympics?

Published July 26, 2023

In the world of cheerleading, rumors can tumble around the globe faster than a squad executing a flawless pyramid. The latest? Claims that the USA Cheerleading team will compete at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. However, don’t let your spirits fly too high just yet. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recently stated that the earliest Olympic games that cheerleading could be a part of would be 2028. Let’s clear the air on this exciting but premature news.

cheerleading-in-the-olympics

Dispelling the Rumors: No Cheerleading in 2024 Olympics

Several prominent cheerleading outlets, and social media posts, set the cheer world alight with stories that the USA Cheerleading team was bound for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. However, despite the enthusiasm, this information is not accurate.

According to the IOC, while cheerleading has been gaining significant traction and recognition in the world of sports, it is not slated to make its Olympic debut in 2024.

Understanding IOC Recognition and Olympic Inclusion

So what does IOC recognition really mean? Essentially, it allows the International Cheer Union (ICU) to receive funding and developmental support. It is an acknowledgment of cheerleading’s evolving stature and influence in the sporting world. However, it is not an immediate ticket to the Olympics.

For a sport to be included in the Olympic program, it must first undergo a process that includes a review of the sport’s global impact, governance, and integrity, among other factors. Once a sport receives provisional recognition (as cheerleading did in 2016), it enters a three-year period where it can apply for inclusion in the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee officially recognized cheerleading as a sport in 2021 and the goal is to get it into the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

There’s a palpable sense of anticipation in the cheer community regarding the sport’s Olympic debut. The IOC’s statement regarding the earliest possible inclusion of cheerleading being 2028 means we may indeed be counting down to seeing the high-flying, energetic routines on the world’s biggest sports stage.

While the excitement surrounding the news of the USA Cheerleading team competing at the 2024 Olympics in Paris was indeed thrilling, it’s vital to stay informed with accurate information. Cheerleading’s journey to the Olympics is ongoing, and though it may not happen in 2024, the future looks all but certain for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, and what better place for the USA Cheer team’s debut than right here at home in the United States.

Why is TVCC So Amazing?

By Steve Pawlyk

Published July 18, 2023

In the realm of cheerleading, an arena characterized by its intense energy, discipline, and passion, some institutions have carved a niche for themselves. Among them, the Trinity Valley Community College (TVCC) cheer program stands tall. With a legacy of numerous National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) championships and an integral feature in the second season of Netflix’s ‘CHEER!’, the TVCC cheer program shines brighter than most. This article delves into the reasons that set TVCC apart, shaping it into a titan of collegiate cheerleading.

Storied Legacy and Celebrated Rivalry

The legacy of TVCC cheer is a tapestry of hard-won victories, relentless training, and an insatiable drive to excel. This program has consistently outshone other colleges with its unrelenting streak of NCA championships, positioning itself firmly in the cheerleading hall of fame. A significant portion of this illustrious history intertwines with the rise of its celebrated rival, Navarro College.

Navarro and TVCC have come to personify the zenith of junior college cheerleading, an exceptional feat considering the multitude of cheer programs nationwide. TVCC was the original powerhouse with its dominant victories in 1989, ’90, ’91, and ’93. When Monica Aldama took the helm of Navarro’s cheer team in 1995, the stage was set for a rivalry that would not only push the boundaries of the sport but also captivate audiences worldwide. The intense competition between the two, documented in Netflix’s ‘CHEER!’, has thrust both programs into the global spotlight, becoming the essence of collegiate cheerleading’s biggest battle.

High-Intensity Training and Exceptional Coaching

Key to the continuous success of the TVCC cheer program is its commitment to rigorous training regimens under the guidance of an experienced and devoted coaching staff. These coaches, including the dynamic Vontae Johnson who joined in 2017, leverage their vast industry experience to deliver innovative techniques, instill advanced safety precautions, and foster mental toughness in their athletes. This approach has led to the creation of teams that are not just athletically excellent but also capable of maintaining composure under high-pressure situations.

Emphasis on Academic Excellence

While many cheer programs focus primarily on physical aptitude, TVCC cheer takes a more comprehensive approach. The program underscores the importance of strong academic performance alongside athletic prowess, promoting a balanced approach to success. This encourages athletes to excel not just on the cheer mat but also in the classroom, nurturing well-rounded individuals prepared to face any challenge.

Unwavering Community Support

TVCC’s cheer program flourishes with the backing of a community that truly supports and celebrates its athletes. From ardent fans to dedicated alumni, the TVCC community offers an unwavering support system that boosts team morale, motivation, and ultimately, performance.

Superior Facilities

TVCC is home to state-of-the-art cheer facilities that aid in honing the skills of its athletes. With top-notch equipment and amenities, the program provides a safe and effective training environment, reflecting its commitment to its athletes’ success.

Strong Emphasis on Teamwork

One of TVCC cheer’s unique aspects is its emphasis on teamwork and camaraderie. Beyond individual brilliance, the program nurtures a sense of unity among the cheer squad, resulting in performances where each routine is an impeccably coordinated spectacle.

All-Round Development

TVCC cheer’s commitment extends beyond the athletic realm, offering opportunities for comprehensive growth of its athletes. The program aids in developing leadership skills, work ethics, and emotional intelligence, ensuring that TVCC cheerleaders succeed not only on the cheer stage but also in their personal and professional lives.

The ‘CHEER!’ Spotlight

The TVCC cheer program’s excellence was brought to international attention through its feature in the second season of Netflix’s ‘CHEER!’. This worldwide exposure not only solidified TVCC’s position in the global cheerleading landscape but also offered an insightful behind-the-scenes look into the dedication and hard work that drives its success.

In essence, the TVCC cheer program sets the standard in cheerleading through its rich legacy, high-quality coaching, holistic approach to success, strong community backing, superior facilities, focus on teamwork, and commitment to comprehensive development. Its spotlight in Netflix’s ‘CHEER!’ and the riveting rivalry with Navarro College have only served to further enhance its reputation as a leading cheer program, setting the stage for exciting developments in the future.

However, the journey to the championship hasn’t always been smooth. With the past year’s tropical storms, Ian and Nicole, event accommodation faced some challenges. Two major hotels were temporarily closed for repairs and renovations, causing room availability to become a pressing issue.

Bill Boggs, the senior vice president of the National Cheerleaders Association, stated, “We feel good about where we are going into next year and beyond with the availability of rooms that we will need.”

Cheer and dance teams, coaches, and spectators alike can look forward to the 2024 championship scheduled for April 8-14. Preparations are underway at Daytona Beach and the Ocean Center to welcome you with open arms.

NCA-Daytona-Beach-2024

Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry and Lori Campbell Baker, executive director of the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, have both voiced their excitement for the continued relationship with the cheer and dance championship. It’s not just about the exhilarating performances; it’s also about the positive impact you all bring to the local economy and community.

Bob Davis, president and CEO of the Lodging & Hospitality Association of Volusia County, couldn’t agree more. He praised the championship participants, saying, “It’s a wonderful, well-behaved group that does a great job and they fill the hotels.”

So, cheerleaders, dancers, and coaches, gear up! Your performances, energy, and passion for the sport don’t just electrify the stage but also light up the spirit of the city, its residents, and visitors.
