Competing in Game Day

Taking Your Sideline Traditions To The Competition Floor

What Is Game Day?

 Game Day is a competition that celebrates traditional

cheerleading

 It gives teams a forum to compete in categories that

reflect what they do on the sidelines to engage crowd involvement and demonstrate school traditions

 Categories Band Dance, S

ituational S ideline, Time-Out Cheer, Fight S

• ng

Benefits of Game Day

• Program growth
• Improvement of skills in areas where already strong
• Return to the competitive floor
• Increased positive game presence
• New ways to succeed

Why Now?

• With recent changes to competitive parameters, this

retains the components of traditional cheerleading.

• The recent decline in the number of teams competing.
• Decrease in the presence of cheerleading teams at high

schools.

• Decreased cheerleading presence at school and

community events.

Game Day Categories

What Game Day situation audio cues will squads respond to?

• Offense/Defense Game Situation: Squads will then

perform a Sideline based off of a designated game situation cues

• Teams will no longer have audio cues for Band

Dance and Cheer. All teams will perform in the same order.

• All teams will perform in this order:

– Band Dance – A sideline based on a designated game situation – A time out Cheer – Fight Song

Routine Components

• Band Dance

– Generally an instrumental version of a popular song like Sweet Caroline, Zombie Nation, Don’t Stop Believin, Dr Who, etc. – Ripples, line changes, etc. – Crowd leadership is still required (yelling letters, colors or mascots over music) – Think of when/where you can incorporate flags, poms, signs or any other visuals to make it interesting

Routine Components

• Situational Sideline

– Offensive or Defensive Situation will be given from the announcer

• Specific point category allotted to proper

reaction to the announcer’s cue – Team reacts accordingly using signs and poms – Repeats and ends after a verbal command or a set, designated number of times – This section can blend into your Timeout Cheer (just like you would on the sideline at a game)

Routine Components

• Time‐Out Cheer

– Does not need to be a “formal” competition cheer

• Needs to be crowd‐leading

– Incorporating signs, poms, flags, etc – Easy to understand and easy to follow words – Signs and poms should assist the crowd in determining sides, words, etc. – Stunts should be used to elevate your message to your fans and should not used to entertain them

• Difficulty is NOT a part of the score specifically,

so make sure that skills are 100%!

Routine Components

• Fight Song

– Usually a school’s own fight song or one from a major university – Sharp motions to music – Ripples, line changes, etc. – Skill Incorporation and Repeat

• Cannot incorporate more than 3

consecutive 8‐counts

Routine Components

• Between Sections

– Transition should be smooth – Natural energy and spirit at all times – Proper placement of props – Spacing – Can always add in jumps/kicks throughout

• Be cautious on tumbling to make sure it’s not

counted into music sections (with limitations

• n skills) – THIS WILL LIKELY CHANGE FOR

2019‐2020

How Are Teams Judged

• Teams are judged on execution,

crowd effectiveness, energy, and

• verall performance
• Deductions are still in place for Game

Day and crowd-readiness and perfection is CRITICAL

Game Day Format

• Total Game Day time cannot exceed 3

minutes

• Cheer/Sideline will be scored together
• Band Chant & Fight Song will be scored

together – All teams will perform in the same

• rder/format

– Situational sideline (offensive/defense) will be given on the floor

Why Game Day?

• It’s fun and it’s easy - You can either use existing

great sideline traditions or create new ones for both your home crowd and GD routine

• It’s inclusive - Cheerleaders can be excellent on the

sideline without necessarily needing the same skills as required by all-music scoresheets

• It’s an additional opportunity - Game Day is not

replacing your cheerleading competitions - it’s adding an opportunity to use the competition as a forum for traditional sideline cheerleading

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TEAMS ARE PLACED?

PRACTICE INFO

Team practices will be held in the evening from 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the high school and will begin on Wed, Aug. 21. VERY BUSY SCHEDULE, Football Games, Pep Rally Preparations, Clinics, etc. Availability Mandatory. We also participate in community events, Scholarship Fundraiser, Fundraisers to help

• ffset any extra costs.

Cheerleaders must attend all practices and games mandated by the coaching staff. Only excuses are obvious – sickness, family emergency. In the event of a sickness or emergency, the student and parent should contact the coach to advise of the absences and reason. If we only hear from the student on an absence, we will confirm with parent. Absences will be approved at the discretion of the Head Coach. Unexcused absences may result in loss of playing time, suspension, or dismissal from the team. To have a winning and successful team it takes players who are committed to being at practices and games. An absence is a missed

• pportunity for you to develop your skills as an individual and also

contribute to the development of the team. Missing events can enable another player to step up in your absence and win your spot.

Parents Responsibility

At time of parent meeting we require that both you and your child review the handbook/guidelines thoroughly. Required paperwork on time. (permission slips, waivers, fundraisers) Drop off and pick at the proper times, on time. At the game/competition – please do no approach the team in the lineup unless an emergency. Support with fundraising and participation in all events/fundraising. Cheer camp & other expenses – FUNDRAISING IS IMPORTANT! Flexibility / Changing plans… scheduled practices and games can change due to various reasons. Everyone is ALL IN! We as a program/district/family respect all and pride ourselves with sportsmanship at all contests and competition.

Getting Game Ready! Each cheerleader will receive a DVD/CD (or a link to a video) with all cheers and some dances to learn and review outside of practice to be game day prepared. This allows us more time for skill building and other game day readiness at our practices.

FUNDRAISING SUPPORTS INDIVIDUAL & TEAM NEEDS

• TEAM Costs – Music, Equipment, Props, Registration fees

for competitions and clinics that are not covered by District

• There are some additional uniform expenses involving

sneakers (important/safety to have new shoes), body slimmers, camp gear and briefs.

• Cellular devices may not be used during practices or games.

Turned off @ 5:30 p.m (start of practice), and not taken out again until dismissal.

• Players should be prepared to come to practice; at each practice you will need:

practice clothes, cheer shoes, running shoes, and any other necessary equipment. All attire must be school appropriate.

• The team will look uniform for games (undergarments worn during games will match

the team uniform, green, black/white)

returned at the conclusion of the season in good condition. The replacement fees of any equipment which is lost, has suffered unusual wear or destroyed will be assessed to the responsible player.

• Player’s fitness, attitude and work ethic will be assessed periodically. Players rating

unsatisfactory, may experience a loss of participation or team/position re‐placement.

Discipline As a member of this team you are expected to abide by the rules set forth. It is the discretion of the coaching staff as to what disciplinary action will be taken if a rule is broken. 3 “x”s will equal a dismissal from the team Unexcused absence Insubordinate behavior Fighting What the Coach deems worthy of an X
