Cheerleading Competition and Events
For cheerleading squads all around the United States and even abroad, the cheerleading competition is one of their most important events. Sometimes the task of finding a competition that will be beneficial and fun for your particular squad can be a frustrating, difficult and often intimidating thing to accomplish. It is vital that all of the right questions be asked to help make sure that the squad is choosing the correct event, as there are many different institutions and companies that host them.
One of the first things that you have to consider is what type of squad you have; high school, college, etc. You need to be sure which NCA cheerleading competition actually caters to your category. Also be sure to find out if there are specific cheerleading policies in place, such as gender requirements, as some events will allow coed squads while others are girls only. Sometimes the competition is also broken down into the number of members of the squad; such as 12 or less, 13 up to 16 members and larger ones of 17 to 20. This usually depends on which of the cheerleader’s associations is hosting the event.
Another consideration when choosing a cheerleading competition is how much money the squad is willing to spend, or how much they can afford to spend. Local competitions are not as expensive and most entry fees are pretty reasonable; however, if you have to go out of town, then there are considerations besides cheerleading outfits and routines to consider. You may have to charter a bus or make other arrangements if your school can not provide transportation and you may have an overnight stay, which means paying for hotel rooms too.
So, you need to decide if your squad wants to remain local or wants to travel. If all are in favor of traveling, then how much can you spend on accommodations? You also want to make sure that the competition fits your needs, as some squads are actually limited by the National Cheerleading Association as to where and when they can compete.
Every cheerleading competition is different so depending upon who is hosting it there are usually different regulations and rules for each one. You need to be sure to double check before making a commitment to ensure that your squad wants to really enter the competition and that you meet the requirements. It is helpful to speak with an organization’s representative so that you can be sure of all the details.
