Competition details in the grey section below! Please see below for coaching updates in Washington state.
Reminders For All Cheer Coaches:
Hands-on WIAA stunt certification is required for cheer coaches who intend to have their cheer squad perform stunts. These stunt certification clinics run for two hours and will be hosted in person. Coaches must be recertified every two (2) years. A current certified coach must be present in order for a team to stunt. Click here to register!
Competition dates and resources have been updated on the WSCCA website.
Rec. Coaches Updates:
Coaches for teams who decide to compete in WA regional competitions are now required to have and provide proof of a USA Cheer Membership (Professional or Cheer Coach Membership). This is to ensure that coaches who are outside of our schools are meeting the screening clearances and training for our sport. A membership is required for each coach that plans on following the team through warm-ups and team areas.
Note: if your team attended a Varsity affiliated camp you may already have a membership!
The WSCCA Junior State Championships is set for January 21, 2024, at Tahoma High School. Registration will open soon!

COACHES HOSPITALITY

Upon arrival, please go to team check-in. If you have any changes to your numbers please let them know immediately at that time especially if it affects your division. You will receive your wrist bands for registered coaches at this time as well. This will give you access to the warm up room and gym. Recreational team coaches will need to turn in required waivers at this time.

WARM UP ROOM & MUSIC
WARMUP ROOM
Only dressed cheerleaders & coaches with wrist bands will be allowed in the warmup room. Wrist bands will be given to registered* coaches at team check-in. All registered coaches must be background checked by their programs administration.
Only teams during their designated times will be allowed in warm up area. Warmups can be stressful enough, so we try to provide as much privacy and less distraction to ease the already high stress level. During warmups please also be mindful and respectful of others warming up their teams. Playing your own music and loud props will be restricted until your full mat warm up time.

For warmups, you will have a check-in time 5 minutes before your stretching time. This will be located near team check-in.

5 min stretch
5 min warm up stunts/tumbling
5 min hold
