Scoring & Guidelines

Routine Guidelines


All-Star Cheerleading believes that cheerleaders and dancers are athletes. Therefore, make sure your choreography is in good taste and suitable for family viewing. Technical deductions will be assessed for inappropriate moves such as excessive pelvic thrusts or rubbing one's posterior. Check your music for profanity or other inappropriate language, and eliminate outward displays of arrogance in your performances.

School & Cheer Team Routines

  • Must be at least 2 minutes, but no greater than 2 minutes and 30 seconds in total length. Coaches are strongly encouraged to create routines that finish a few seconds under the time limit.
  • Traditional School and Recreation Cheer routines should include at least one cheer and one chant or sideline.
  • Must include a musical segment of at least 45 seconds. The music portion may be divided into as many sections, using as many songs as you wish. There is no upper time limit on your musical portion.
  • Should be choreographed so that the routine flows from one element to another.
  • Should include jumps. Gymnastic skills are recommended but not required.
  • May use poms and signs (including flags with letters) and megaphones. No other props permitted.
Stunt Group & Co-ed Partner Stunt Routines

  • Must be at least 1 minute, but no greater than 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  • Must be performed entirely to music with stunting only.
  • May not include ANY tumbling or jumps.
  • Should be choreographed to demonstrate a variety of stunts and transitions.
