University of Minnesota Cheerleading Championship

SATURDAY DECEMBER 16TH, 2017

Dear Cheer Team Advisors and Coaches:

We have set a date for the 22nd Annual U OF M CHEERLEADING CHAMPIONSHIP. We hope your team will join us for all the fun and excitement on SATURDAY DECEMBER 16TH, 2017 at THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SPORTS PAVILION AND WILLIAMS ARENA.

This competition provides our participants with the highest quality environment in the region, including:

 A separate warm up room which allows you to warm your routine up with music.  A big competition arena with plenty of seating from friends, family, and fans.  Both gyms will have a full 54 X 42 mat.  All All-Star teams will compete on a full 54 X 42 spring floor.  Division Championship T-Shirts will be given to the first place team in all of the Varsity High School, Game Day, College, and Senior All Star Divisions. As well as a Grand Champion Jackets for the highest overall score of the day in both the Senior All Star and Varsity High School Division.  Bids to US Finals and WOW Factor Nationals.

Because we want to benefit teams that compete at the Minnesota State competition AND those who compete at Nationals, the Minnesota State High School League’s division breakdowns will apply with all UCA rules and regulations. A copy of the UCA rules and judging sheet can be found at www.varsity.com under the “Competition” heading, and the division breakdown is listed on our registration form. (Please Note: divisions may be altered so that each team is competing against an appropriate number of competitors).

To confirm your place in this year’s competition, simply fill out the enclosed registration form and return it with your registration fee by Friday, November 24th to U of M Spirit Squads, Attn: Spirit Squad Event Staff 1925 University Ave. SP #140 Minneapolis, MN 55455 …REMEMBER, a $100 late fee will be charged for all entries not received by the deadline.

Additional information on parking, accommodations, awards, etc. will follow your registration. Please feel free to forward that information to your team and their families, and if you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact [email protected]. We look forward to seeing your team on Saturday, December 16th, 2017.

Sincerely,

Samuel Owens – Head Coach Abby DeThorne – Event Coordinator
