What is a Cheerleading Competition?
Cheerleading competition is an opportunity for a team to perform a routine that usually includes cheers, dance motions, jumps, tumbling, partner stunts, and pyramid construction. The routines are performed in front of a large audience and a panel of judges. Each team competes in a division based on size, ability, experience and regional approval. Competition starts at the league level. If teams advance at the league competition, they qualify for the state competition. The next level of competition for teams advancing is a regional qualifier which advances the top teams to the regional competition. If teams advance at the regional competition (the top 2 teams in each division moves on), they qualify for the national competition.
