On every sideline, in every halftime show, in every school across America… It’s Game Time!

The Game Time competitions were created to showcase what traditional cheerleading is all about – leading the crowd! The competition gives teams who traditionally don’t compete a chance to show how they rule the field and lead the crowds at their schools.  

For this competition, there is no preparation needed - really! Teams can step off the sideline and into the competition. Teams will be able to enter three different categories: Time-Out Cheer, Fight Song and Time-Out Dance. All divisions have a time limit of 1 minute 15 seconds and include skill restrictions.
