Who Makes Competitive Cheer Music?

When it comes to competitive cheer music, IPP Music stands at the forefront of the industry. Recognized as the Official cheer music provider of USA Cheer, they’ve earned their reputation through years of providing high-quality mixes tailored to the rhythm and energy of cheerleading.

What Kind of Music is Suitable for Cheerleading?

Cheer music needs to be energetic, upbeat, and engaging to inspire the cheerleaders and enthrall the audience. Mixes often include a range of genres, from pop and hip-hop to rock and electronic. The tempo plays a key role, with 146 beats per minute (bpm) being the standard for most high school, all-star, and college cheer mixes.

Where Can I Find Cheer Dance Music?

If you’re in need of high-quality dance routine music, you’ll first need to establish whether you have the budget for a Custom Dance Mix ($875+) or a Premade Dance Mix ($99+). The difference between the 2 options comes down to customization. Custom Mixes offer a full spectrum of customization whereas Premade Dance Mix customization is slightly narrower. For most teams, premade mixes provide all the customization they are looking for. You can add a team name to the mix for just $10. IPP offers a wide range of dance mixes that strike the perfect balance between rhythm and energy, ensuring your cheer dance routine is a surefire hit!

How Do Cheer Teams Get Their Music?

Cheer teams typically purchase licensed music from reputable production companies like IPP Music. Licensed music ensures that all copyright laws are adhered to and allows teams to focus on what they do best: creating stunning cheer routines!

How Much Do Cheer Mixes Cost?

The cost of cheer music can vary depending on the type of mix. Custom mixes, tailored to a team’s specific requirements, range between $875 and $3300 per mix. On the other hand, premade cheer mixes, which can also be customized, range from $65 to $250 depending on duration. For example, here is the pricing for IPP’s Custom Cheer Mixes:

Custom cheer music pricing can depend on the complexity and length of the mix, with prices generally falling between $875 and $3300 per mix. These mixes are specifically designed to suit the unique needs and routines of each cheer team, making them a worthy investment.

How Do You Pick a Cheer Song?

For custom mixes, you typically need to select 4-5 songs to be incorporated into the mix. IPP Music uses a third-party song provider, Songs for Cheer, where teams can choose their preferred tracks. If you opt for a premade mix, you don’t need to select any songs, although you do have the option to swap out existing songs if desired.

How Many 8 Counts in a Routine?

5	2:30	35	37	38	40	42	43	45	46

The number of 8 counts in a routine depends on its length. For a one-minute routine, you would typically have around 17 counts, while for a one minute 30 seconds routine, you’d have around 26 counts. It’s important to note that the number of counts is independent of where songs blend in a cheer mix; not every song switch in a mix corresponds to an 8 count, though it’s typical that they do.

What Do Cheer Judges Look For in Competitions?

When it comes to cheer competitions, judges assess teams on a multitude of factors. It’s not only about the gravity-defying stunts and precision of the dance moves but also about the synergy between the performance and the music.

The music selection plays an indispensable role in crafting a winning cheerleading routine. A high-quality mix that complements the team’s energy can significantly influence the judges’ overall impression. It sets the tone and pace of the routine and can enhance the impact of the stunts and choreography. A well-crafted cheer mix can uplift the performance, making the routine more dynamic and engaging, hence persuading the judges in favor of the team.

Conversely, a poorly selected or low-quality cheer mix can negatively impact the performance, making even the most complex stunts seem out of sync or less impressive. The judges aren’t just looking for a good performance but a complete package where the music and routine work together to create an unforgettable show.

Timing is another crucial aspect. Each cheerleading routine must adhere to a specified length, and the music should fit within this timeframe. Music that exceeds the allotted time can lead to penalties or even disqualification. Therefore, teams must ensure their music ends when their routine does to avoid any timing mishaps.

Lastly, the content of the music matters greatly. Profanity or even perceived profanity in the lyrics can lead to immediate disqualification. It’s crucial that the music used in cheerleading routines is clean and suitable for all ages, reflecting the spirit of cheerleading as a sport that promotes positivity, teamwork, and athleticism.

In conclusion, what cheer judges look for isn’t just skill and enthusiasm. They’re looking for a cohesive performance where the music amplifies the team’s energy and synchronization. A well-chosen, high-quality cheer mix that abides by the rules can be a game-changer in winning cheerleading competitions.

How Do You Win a Cheerleading Competition?

Winning a cheerleading competition involves a combination of factors. Teams must perfect their stunts, dances, and tumbling, ensure their routine is original and engaging, and most importantly, bring an unmatched level of energy and spirit to their performance. And remember, the choice of music and its synchronization with the routine can make a big difference!

Cheer music is the heartbeat of any cheerleading routine. Understanding its intricacies can elevate your team’s performance and ensure your routines are always a hit with the crowd and judges alike. Whether you’re investing in a custom mix or opting for a premade mix, remember that the best cheer music embodies the energy, rhythm, and spirit of your team. So, ready to hit the cheer mat with some awesome tunes? Let’s do this!

As a first-year cheerleading coach, stepping into the sport can be a thrilling yet daunting task. With the rules, techniques, and team management tasks, it may seem overwhelming. But fear not, because this guide will help you navigate the unique and engaging world of cheerleading in Australia.

Cheerleading in Australia is a rapidly growing sport, with many unique regulations and practices. For a first-year coach, these rules can often seem complex and specific, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. This guide will delve into the key rules and regulations in Australian cheerleading, providing you with the tools you need to succeed.

Understanding Australian Cheerleading: Key Rules and Regulations

The cheerleading leagues in Australia operate under the Australian All Star Cheerleading Federation (AASCF). This body sets out the specific rules and guidelines that all teams and coaches must follow.

Age Grouping

In Australian cheerleading, competitors are grouped by age. The six primary divisions are Tiny (6 & under), Mini (8 & under), Youth (11 & under), Junior (14 & under), Senior (18 & under), and Open (14 & over). Make sure to familiarize yourself with these categories to ensure you’re training your team appropriately.

Performance Times

Depending on the team’s division and category (cheer or dance), there are different performance time requirements. For example, a Mini Level 1 Cheer team will perform for 2 minutes 30 seconds, while a Senior Level 6 team might perform for up to 2 minutes 45 seconds.

Skill Regulations

Each division in Australian cheerleading has specific skill regulations. These restrictions apply to stunts, tumbles, and pyramids. Ensure you’re aware of these regulations when choreographing routines.

Music: The Heartbeat of Cheerleading

One crucial aspect of cheerleading that significantly contributes to the energy and vibe of the performance is the music. Choosing the right music can make or break your routine. It’s essential to consider a reliable and high-quality music service like IPP Music to give your team a competitive edge.

Notably, the AASCF has regulations around the music used in performances. You must own the appropriate rights to any music you use, which could include licensing, and must provide proof if asked. IPP Music provides a range of pre-licensed and custom mixes tailored to cheerleading needs, so you can ensure you’re meeting these regulations while creating an electrifying atmosphere for your routine.

Keeping Safety First

Safety is paramount in cheerleading, with regulations in Australia putting a heavy emphasis on the safety of performers. All cheerleading coaches in Australia must complete a safety certification course approved by the AASCF. Ensuring your athletes understand and abide by safety guidelines should always be a top priority.

Other Important Rules

Remember, the AASCF’s National Rules and Regulations Handbook is your bible. It covers everything from costume requirements to scoring systems and disciplinary procedures. Spend time getting to know it – it will be your best friend!

Conclusion

Embracing your role as a first-year cheerleading coach in Australia is an exciting journey. Remember, the key to success is understanding the rules that govern the sport in Australia. This knowledge, paired with enthusiasm, a love for the sport, and great music from IPP Music, will ensure your first year as a cheerleading coach is a memorable and successful one. You’re not just building routines; you’re building future champions!

Essential Tips and Rules for First-Year British Cheer Coaches

Posted on June 23, 2023June 23, 2023 by Steve Pawlyk

Published June 23, 2023

Cheerleading is an art and sport that fosters unity, promotes physical fitness, and instils a sense of leadership among participants. If you’re a first-year coach of a British cheer team, you might find the role challenging yet rewarding. This blog post is your handy guide, brimming with advice, tips, and insights into the rules specific to cheerleading in the United Kingdom

1. Understanding the Basics of Cheerleading

The first tip, which may sound obvious but is worth emphasizing, is understanding the basics of cheerleading. It’s not all about pom-poms and high-energy chants. Cheerleading in the UK, like any other sport, demands discipline, teamwork, athleticism, and creativity. The British Cheerleading Association (BCA) provides an excellent resource for coaches and athletes alike to understand the rules and basics of cheerleading.

2.Ensuring Athlete Safety

The safety of your athletes should always be your top priority. Always ensure they are properly warmed up before practice and cool down afterwards. Ensure your team learns and perfects basic cheerleading skills before moving on to more complex stunts. Know the regulations regarding the mats and other equipment, which need to be compliant with BCA and UKCA (United Kingdom Cheerleading Association) rules.

3. Encourage and Motivate

Your team’s morale will play a significant role in their performance. As a coach, it’s your responsibility to keep the team motivated. Recognize each team member’s strengths and build on them. Constructive criticism is a great tool, but make sure it’s balanced with praise and encouragement.

4. Teaching Teamwork

Cheerleading is all about teamwork. Facilitate exercises that foster trust, cooperation, and communication among your team members. Remember, a successful stunt isn’t just about athleticism—it’s about impeccable timing and unyielding trust in each other.

5. Understanding Cheer Rules Specific to the UK

In the UK, cheerleading is governed by organizations such as BCA and UKCA, which enforce rules to ensure the sport is safe and enjoyable. Familiarise yourself with their guidelines, especially if your team participates in competitions.

– Age Groups: The BCA outlines specific age groups for cheerleading teams: Peewee (6 and under), Mini (8 and under), Youth (11 and under), Junior (14 and under), and Senior (10 and above). Ensure your team members fit within the correct age bracket.

– Team Sizes: Depending on the competition category, team sizes may vary from one (for individual categories) to 36 athletes.

– Routine Duration: For most categories, routines should be a maximum of 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

– Music: If you use music in your routine, it must be licensed for use. The BCA and UKCA have strict rules on music copyright.

– Costumes: Costumes should be modest, tasteful, and provide enough coverage. They must also allow for the safe execution of cheerleading moves.

– Stunts and Tumbling: Certain stunts and tumbling moves are prohibited in specific age categories for safety reasons. Always check the latest BCA or UKCA rules before incorporating a new move into your routine.

As Vince Lombardi once said, “”Coaches who can outline plays on a blackboard are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player’s heads.” Embrace this philosophy, and you’re already halfway to success.

6. Continuous Learning

As a first-year coach, never shy away from learning opportunities. Attend coaching seminars, engage with experienced cheer coaches, and stay updated with the latest cheerleading trends and techniques. Both the BCA and UKCA regularly offer training and educational resources to help you become a more effective coach.

7. Focusing on Fitness

Cheerleading is a physically demanding sport, and thus it’s critical for your athletes to maintain a high level of fitness. Focus on strength, flexibility, and endurance training. Regular conditioning can help prevent injuries and improve performance.

8. Managing Time

Managing your time and your team’s time effectively is crucial. Your practice sessions should be structured and efficient, with a clear goal in mind. Be punctual, respect your athletes’ time, and encourage them to do the same.

9. Ethical Considerations

As a cheer coach, you play a vital role in shaping young athletes’ attitudes and behaviours. It’s important to exhibit ethical behaviour both on and off the cheer mat. This includes fair play, respect for all team members, and a strong commitment to the team’s success.

10. Building a Community

Finally, fostering a sense of community can help your team achieve greater success. Encourage parents to get involved, reach out to local businesses for sponsorship, and participate in community events. A supportive community can greatly enhance your team’s morale and provide necessary resources.

Being a first-year British cheer coach might be challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to inspire young athletes, create memorable experiences, and instill lifelong values. Keep the above advice and rules in mind, and remember, the key is not to strive for perfection but progress. You’re embarking on a journey filled with cheers, challenges, and triumphs – embrace it wholeheartedly!

In conclusion, your journey as a first-year British cheer coach will undoubtedly be a learning curve. Remember, every experienced coach was once a beginner, and with dedication, persistence, and a positive mindset, you’ll be leading your team to new heights. Stick to the rules, prioritize safety, foster an environment of mutual respect, and above all, don’t forget to have fun!

May your first year of coaching be the beginning of a rewarding journey filled with cheers, passion, and unparalleled success. Now, get out there and let your cheer spirit shine!

When you think of cheerleading, what comes to mind? Spirited chants, gravity-defying stunts, and yes, lively, high-energy music. At IPP Music, we understand the impact that the right soundtrack can have on a cheerleading performance. Whether it’s a high school pep rally or a national cheerleading competition, the music can make or break the performance. So, how do you get loud in cheerleading? Let’s dive into the world of cheerleading music to explore this topic.

Amplify Your Cheerleading Performance: Getting Loud with IPP Music

Getting Loud in Cheerleading:

Cheerleading is all about projecting energy, enthusiasm, and spirit, and nothing does that better than the volume of your performance. But getting loud in cheerleading isn’t just about cranking up the decibels. It’s a combination of powerful vocals, coordinated team chants, and most importantly, booming, captivating music.

Powerful Vocals:

The first component to getting loud is the strength of the cheerleaders’ voices. Coaches work hard to train their teams to project their voices, enunciate clearly, and maintain a consistent volume. But powerful vocals alone aren’t enough. They need to be coupled with the right music to really amp up the energy.

Coordinated Team Chants:

Team chants are a core element of cheerleading. The more in sync the team is, the louder and more impressive the chant. Effective chants are catchy, easy to follow, and fit well with the chosen music.

High-Energy, Licensed Music:

The final, and arguably most important, piece of the puzzle is the music. The right music can elevate a cheerleading performance from good to unforgettable. At IPP Music, we specialize in creating customizable, licensed cheerleading music that will truly make your performance stand out.

IPP Music – Your Partner for Loud Cheerleading Performances:

At IPP Music, we understand that cheerleading is about more than just cheers and stunts – it’s about the entire experience. That’s why we offer a wide range of customizable, licensed music that caters specifically to cheerleading teams.

Our music is designed to complement and enhance your cheerleading routines, taking into account the rhythm, pacing, and energy required in the cheerleading world. The music you choose can add that extra punch to your performance, helping you make the impact you’re aiming for.

Licensed Music – The Legal Way to Get Loud:

One of the most important aspects of choosing music for cheerleading is ensuring it is licensed. Using unlicensed music can result in hefty fines and penalties. At IPP Music, all our music tracks are fully licensed, meaning you can focus on your performance without worrying about legal issues.

Customizable Music – Making Your Cheerleading Routine Unique:

Another key aspect of getting loud in cheerleading is having unique music that sets your team apart. At IPP Music, we offer customizable music options. Whether you want to add a particular song, adjust the tempo, or include specific sound effects, we can tailor the music to suit your needs.

Have you ever wondered where cheer teams get their music? The answer is IPP Music.

IPP Music is a company that specializes in providing custom and premade music for cheer teams, dance teams, and other performing arts groups. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of using IPP Music for your cheer team’s music needs.

First and foremost, IPP Music mixes, both custom and premade are fully licensed and legal to use in performances. This means that teams don’t have to worry about copyright infringement or any other legal issues when using their music. This is extremely important as using unlicensed music can lead to costly fines and legal trouble.

Another benefit of using IPP Music is that our music is specifically designed for use in performances. This means that the music is fast-paced, energetic, and easy to choreograph routines to. It also means that the music is edited to fit the time requirements of the routine, so teams don’t have to worry about the music ending too soon or dragging on too long.

In addition to our wide-variety of mix packages and services, IPP Music is also well-known for its customer service. We strive to give each customer a unique experience that helps to create long-lasting relationships. In fact, IPP Music has customers that have been with us for over 10 years. IPP Music has a way of turning valued customers into life-long friends.

One the best parts about IPP Music is that we always get the job done. When other music production companies say “no”, IPP Music always tries to find a way to say “YES”!

When you’re in a jam, IPP Music is where to go for high quality cheer music for your team!
