Cheerleading Monday 06 August 2018

A mix of dance, acrobatics, gymnastics and songs, cheerleading was invented by American university students.

The literal translation of “cheerleading” is unambiguous: to cheer = to encourage, and leading comes from ‘to lead’. So,  lead the encouragements and support a team …

If cheerleading takes its origins from gymnastics, dance, and acrobatic gymnastics, the fact remains that all these elements have been adapted, arranged, and modified to create a real identity and a spirit appropriate to the discipline.

This sport, which we qualify as an emerging discipline, is characterized by a precise series of movements. Cheerleaders perform technical manoeuvers, which requires intensive training.

Are called to participate any group of women, men, or mixed able to present:

1. A) a competitive Show Cheer (Pom Dance) non-mount routine of up to 2min 30sec in length, no maximum number of individuals
2. B) a competitive Partner Stunt (2 individuals plus a Spotter) routine of up to 1 min in length
3. C) a competitive Group Stunt (up to 5 individuals) routine of up to 1 min in length.
4. D) a full-team, exhibitive (non-competitive) “Spirit Exhibition” cheerleading/stunt routine of up to 2min 30sec, no maximum number of individuals

Individuals may not crossover and perform/compete in multiple routines within a single category above
