NDCCA Competition

All Around Cheerleader

The All Around division is designed to showcase an athlete’s overall cheerleading ability, combining cheer motions, jumps, tumbling, voice, spirit, and crowd appeal into one individual performance.

All Around Division Rules

  1. Each participant will perform a routine up to, but not over, 1 minute. A participant who exceeds the time limit will be disqualified.

  2. Contestants must perform an advanced jump appropriate for their ability level.

  3. Each contestant must perform a tumbling pass that includes at least a standing back handspring or higher-level tumbling skill. If a cheerleader registers for the All Around event and does not perform at least the minimum required tumbling skill, the cheerleader will be disqualified from the All Around competition.

  4. Contestants will be judged on cheer motions, jumps, tumbling, voice, spirit, and crowd appeal, which may be demonstrated through cheers, chants, and other appropriate elements.

  5. No props, signs, or megaphones are permitted. Poms are allowed.

  6. All Around will be divided into Class AA (Varsity and JV) and Class A/B (Varsity and JV) divisions.
