Rumor: High School Nationals
I’ve been told there will be significant changes to the divisions at UCA High School Nationals. The details are very scarce but changes include divisions being based on the size of the school, not just the size of the squad.
No More Spring Floors
Beginning with the 2007-2008 season, schools following National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) guidelines, which includes most junior high and high schools, will not be allowed to perform or compete on spring floors. This rule was implemented as a safety measure preventing schools from using height increasing apparatus.
Please visit the NFHS website for complete information.

In My Cheer World…
The topic today is things I would change about cheerleading.
- Each company would only be able to host one event billed as a “National Championship”
- NCAA would host the College National Championship
- All*Star Division would have an age floor and ceiling
- Assisted Stunts would score lower than unassisted stunts
- College Rules would be less restrictive
- Cheerleaders and Cheerleading Parents would understand physical attributes are a part of athletics
- Divisions would be combined to ensure every team at every competition competed against someone
- Varsity Brands would count as one company per USASF
- AACCA and USASF would be and appear independent
- USASF would follow its own rules
- Companies could be members of multiple governing organizations (USASF, NLCC, etc.)
- High Schools would be allowed to compete on Spring Floors
- All states would allow teams to compete at Nationals
That’s it for now. I’ll expand on these in the future.
