Cheer Off

Cheer off is our end of the season competition that is a mandatory event for all cheer teams. A two minute and thirty second routine is taught at the beginning of the cheer season by a hired choreographer through our partnership with Cheer Factory and worked on all season long. The routine is team-based and will include a high-energy cheer and music/dance portion that is packed with stunts, jumps, tumbling. Teams are judged by a panel of externally hired cheerleading experts and are scored on difficulty and execution. Cheer Off is very important to our program as it brings the sport of cheer to life with competition, athleticism, and physical conditioning throughout the year in addition to teaching young children about good sportsmanship throughout the season. 

Difficulty of tumbling and stunts required during a routine are delegated by a universal score sheet that is based on the division that your cheerleader is in related to their grade and placement during registration.

Divisional stunting will be taught during CFSA’s Cheer Clinics to ensure proper training of the coaches and the safety of the cheerleaders.

Larger divisions may be split into two smaller divisions which is decided by the Executive Board and may be based on tenure of returning coaches versus newer coaches. All participants will receive a medal and trophies will be awarded for 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place. Additionally, a Grand Champion will be awarded to the team with the highest points across all divisions and is announced after the score cards are tallied and emailed to coaches.

The competitive nature of Cheer Off is to foster your cheerleader to grow and develop to the best version of themselves and they will learn about the many aspects of Cheerleading as a sport. This includes but is not limited to sportsmanship, discipline, hard work, teamwork, physical fitness, mental strength, confidence, self-esteem, leadership, perseverance, and dedication. Your coach will be fully prepared to ensure that your cheerleader will show great development by the end of the season at Cheer Off.
