• January Dance Scoresheet
  January Jump Sequence Scoresheet
   
  We highly encourage athletes to compete in our Individual Division!  Scoresheets are also attached- this will be fun and a great opportunity for athlete growth!  Registration is 15.00 per athlete in addition to their 15.00 team registration.  Individuals Scoresheet
  
  NCSAA will also be adding a STUNT GROUP division! Stunt groups can come up with their best stunt sequence or compete what they have in their routine as a chance to practice in front of a crowd! Registration is the same as team and individual, 15.00 per athlete. Stunt Group Scoresheet
  
  Example:
  Athlete registration = 15.00
  Athlete registration who also wants to compete in individual = 30.00
  Athlete registration who also wants to compete in stunt group= 30.00 (must have a minimum of 4 athletes and a maximum of 5 athletes)
  Athletes registration who is competing in both an induvial and stunt group = 45.00
  
  Here are the following STUNT GROUP LEVELS:
• Level 1: ¼ transitions, cradles only allowed from prep, dismount to prone allowed, single leg stunts only allowed below prep level
• Level 2: ½ transitions, single legs at prep level, ¼ turn cradle from extension (2 feet), barrel rolls, inversion to reload/prep/single leg/extension (2 feet)
• If you have a group wanting to compete in levels 3-5 please contact our event coordinator at mo_vasquez@hotmail.com

This battle concept allows NCSAA the opportunity to give other teams a chance to place!  Stay tuned for our event in February; BATTLE OF THE HEARTS February 8th!

Please contact our event coordinator MO Vasquez at mo_vasquez@hotmail.com and melanie@ncsaasports.com for any additional information, questions or concerns.  2020 is going to be HUGE for NCSAA Cheer!
