Under AACCA High School rules, can a flier do a backwalkover from a shoulder sit if there are 2 bases assisting the shoulders down to the ground? How it is happening right now, we are starting in a thigh stand… the the back base scoops her up into a shoulder sit quickly so that the bases can...

I've been hearing and reading about UCA wanting "headpieces" to not be large or in the front of your head. AKA they want the bows to be back farther for a more collegiate look. The tops on my team all happen to have bob haircuts (trying to be like orange I think haha). So when they put bows in...

I heard a rumor that uca was going to have a new rule about where you can qualify for nationals. I heard that teams can only qualify in their own states. A lot of teams didn't get bids at our qualifier so they went a state over and got one. It'd be crazy for that to not be an option anymore...

The new AACCA rules say that singled based stunts where the bases hands are under the feet are illegal without a spotter. This makes shoulder stands still LEGAL because the bases hands are on the back of the top's calfs. My question is: Can you do a shoulder stand 'fake hitch'? One base's hand...

As far as UCA style cheer goes... what makes a good dance? Two 8-counts? Four? Lots of levels? Everyone doing the same thing? Motions only? I'm so lost! I've seen awesome teams with super all star dances, AND motion-y dances. If anyone is willing to share scores on that section, that would...

It may be a bit early for this, but i've always wanted a thread like this! What division are your teams competing this year? Small, Super, Large Coed.... and so on. Or, if you've heard of other team's divisions, post those too! Its always so interesting. I hate not finding out until the...

Where do you guys get your signs for competitions? We usually make ours using corrigated plastic board and plastic adhesive. This year though, we'd like circle signs, and I'm not that talented! I can't seem to find anyone that makes them! Can anyone help?

I wasn't going to do this, but now that the can of worms has been opened... Would you all mind voting for my HS team on this site? http://go2nationals.playtexsport.com/ We are all the way from Minnesota and are trying to send both JV and Varsity to nationals. Our trips are very expensive...

I've always been against politics effecting team placements or spots in cheerleading, but i've been caught up in it anyways. I just want some re-assurance that what i'm thinking of doing is right. Or maybe someone needs to tell me i'm crazy for thinking of doing this! The deal: Girl A has zero...

This is mostly towards teams that attend UCA style events. But I'm open to hear other points of view on the subject. What makes for a high scoring pyramid in difficulty? For UCA difficulty is only 5 pts. But what kind of pyramids get all 5? Is it twisting transitions? Release moves? Low to...

I've seen a few bows like this and I'm intrigued. What are some websites that have this option? Thanks for your help!

A tick up is legal even with the new high school rules about releases because if the flier starts with one foot on the ground, she is not in a stunt yet, so when she is tossed up, it is not considered a stunt until she lands in her lib/stretch/whatever. Am I right so far? This is the reason a...

I think there should be a point deduction (like in all star) for when a stunt drops in high school on the UCA score sheet. Maybe bobbles can still be included in the Execution score, but have falls be separate. When someone who knows nothing about cheerleading is watching a team perform, and...

We are going to a Jamfest nationals with our youth level 2 team. Our stunt is pretty hard already, its 5 singled based (18 kids) stunts with 5 body positions. They move formations in them and cradle. We do half up to extension, cradle, barrel roll later on. My question is, do we really need an...

I'm curious how other high school teams handle having alternates. Do they compete on JV until you need them? Do some schools have alternates for JV? Mine competed on JV until I needed them but when I did take them off to compete with Varsity, the JV team was messed up. How do your schools deal...

hi all! curious if a cradle with a sign is legal in Minnesota. I saw a team do it at nationals, but just wanted to know. The AACCA rules state: "Basket tosses, toe pitch tosses, elevator/sponge tosses or similar tosses are limited to no more than four tossers and must be dismounted to a cradle...

Without giving names of teams to respect privacy, could people tell me what kind of scores teams get that make semis and finals at UCA nationals in the varsity divisions? I've been coaching for a while but this is my first time coaching a High School team and want to know what to shoot for. Just...
