Do you want to introduce your team to competition cheerleading without the intensity of learning a full routine? Did you compete in Home Pom at camp and wish you had the opportunity to compete again against more teams? Have you been looking for a low cost option to still compete with your cheerleaders? If you answered YES to any of the questions above, you're in LUCK this year!

The Game Time Competition is divided up into three divisions, Sideline, Time-Out Dance, and Fight Song.

When competing in the sideline division, it’s important to remember to focus on the crowd, because it’s your job as a cheerleader is to get the crowd yelling with you. To score the most points you’ll need to do two of the following, a cheer, chant, traditional yell, and/or a drum cadence. The judges also encourage your team to use signs, poms, flags, and/or megaphones. Make sure your cheer is easy to follow, visible to the entire audience, and that your squad is actively encouraging the crowd to respond. Remember, for this category there are no baskets, sponge, elevators or similar types of tosses allowed.

When competing in the Time-Out dance division, the judges will place emphasis on crowd entertainment. Make sure to focus on motion placement, spacing and facial expression and energy. In this division, no stunts or tumbling are permitted.

When competing in the Fight Song division, there is a time limit of 1 minute and 15 seconds. Also, your squad is only allowed up to two eight counts with stunts, tumbling and/or jumps. The judges are looking for level changes, correct placement of movements, and execution of the fight song.

No matter what division you’re competing in, the judges are looking for good motions! For more information on these divisions, click here.
