If you don’t know already the High School Regional Cheerleading Competition is approaching fast. Teams have been working hard since August 3rd to prepare for upcoming tournaments. Regional tournaments begin on Nov. 7. and state tournaments begin on Dec. 11. The world of competitive cheerleading has grown in popularity in the last decade, gone are the days of pep-rally’s and simple routines. Today’s routines are as complicated and complex as the plays of any other sport. Being a cheerleader today requires an abundance of skill and intelligence. In order to meet all the basic requirements of the regional competition teams must follow a litany of safety guidelines, rules and regulations. Three separate manuals are referenced for such requirements, the Interscholastic Manual, the National Federation Handbook and the WVSSAC Cheer Manual. Area teams were required to submit the official Regional Outline and Entry Form by Oct. 7. in order to be eligible for the regional tournament. After all the requirements are met the fun will begin and teams will be able to showcase their hard work. During the tournament, teams will follow the 2015-2016 High School Format which includes one 30 to 40 second technical routine and one 2:30 open routine. The WVSSAC cheer manual states that, “the 30-40 second technical segment with motions and at least two different jumps will constitute as thirty percent of the total score and will be scored at completion of the technical portion.” See HOW IT WORKs | 8 CheErleading Preview Sunday, November 1, 2015 3 Gilbert Middle School Cheerleaders Gilbert Pride A-Team Pictured above are the Gilbert Middle School Cheerleading team.

The actual routines will be judged by the official cheer judging panel who are qualified through the state. The scoring is broken up into five different sections that will come together to provide a team’s over-all score. For the Technical Cheer, teams will be judged on cheer fundamentals, motion technique, precision of motions, formations,spacing.use of floor, voice, jumps,choreography and creativity. Each scoring platform will be worth five points each and a final score will be provided from the cumulative score of each platform. A high score of 30 points on the technical cheer is achievable. The judges will be looking for things like sharpness, straight limbs, bent wrists, variety, timing, rythym, formations, spacing, sloppy transitions, synchronizations, and landings. Any of these can cause a team’s over-all score to raise or drop. The open cheer will be judged on variety/rhythm, music interpretation, execution, tumbling, partner stunts and pyramids. The judges will be awarding higher scores for routines that are flashy and exciting, have good incorporation, good difficulty, moves match the music, a good variety, strong tumbling, good stunts and clean dismounts. All of these formats will be worth five points and combine for a 25 point total. Lower scores will be awarded to teams who are not together, whose formations need variety, a teams level of difficulty, a team’s timing and rhythm being off, the need for overall variety, tumbling needs perfected, stunts not being ready, a lack of step/ lock/tighten, bad dismounts/cradles/ Timing. Teams will be judged on their overall appeal with choreography and creativity being worth 10 points, and level of difficulty being worth 15 points for a total of 25 points. Judges will award points if a team has good flow, good variety, a creative routine and good difficulty. The judges will take points away if a team’s overall appeal is choppy and doesn’t flow, their transitions are sloppy, a routine is monotonous, and the routines level of difficulty being to low. Teams will also be judged on Teams will follow the guidelines set forth for the technical segment: No gymnastics or tumbling. No pyramids, partner stunts, or props. No touching or bracing. No poms or music A minimum of thirty seconds/ maximum of forty seconds. For the two minute and thirty second open routine teams must follow these guidelines: No voice-overs on cheers. Poms are only props allowed Music is used at the discretion of the team. If music is used, a quality CD (with back-up) must be available and edited for the whole 3 minutes. Only one start and stop is permitted. IPods are permitted. Coach must check with tournament director and provide a ¼” Mono Connector. The order of performance for Regional and State Competition is listed online and was drawn by the Cheer Coaches Committee. projection. Judges will be looking for an excellent spirit, a team being showy and spirited, strong voices, sportsmanship and good expressions. Judges do not want to see a team that cannot keep their spirit throughout their whole routine, teams that need to be louder and don’t fade out, enunciation, and a team that needs to smile more. The projection section is worth 10 total points. A team will be given 10 points for their overall effect on the judges. The judges will tally up the team’s scores and present them with their overall score. A perfect score would be 100 total points. The 2015-2016 points of emphasis state that, “a team must avoid uniforms that expose the mid-driffs and torso’s. Basket Tosses are illegal on any surface or floor, Double Downs are illegal.

The pink and black-clad Cheeriffic All-Stars are coached by Heather Bryant and Brittney Hartman — both former cheerleaders at Logan High School. Bryant said it’s been quite a journey. “I embarked on this journey 10 years ago and I never dreamed it would become what it is today,” Bryant said. “We have been so blessed over the years. This little program from Logan, West Virginia has achieved championship after championship throughout the years. I’m just amazed with every year. It takes a lot of hard work, sacrifices, blood, sweat and tears but boy oh boy has it paid off. Our program has received the overall US Finals Championships for four straight years. These teams were awarded championship rings, jackets and pants.” Hartman said the girls of Cheeriffic have worked very hard over the years. “I have been blessed to be apart of this wonderful cheer program. Over the years that I have helped coach, there has been so much dedication from each and every athlete, every coach, and of course from every single family that has been in our cheer program,” Hartman said. “The teams over the past 10 years have won so many prestigious awards, bids, and titles and also have competed at some of the most talented competitions throughout the country. Our teams have been blessed with four overall US Final Championships in a row.” Cheeriffic’s other three teams also closed out successful 2014-15 seasons, taking it to the next level. The Mini 2 team from Cheeriffic finished as national runners-up in a 19-team field. The Mini team also won first place last May at the US The National Champion Cheeriffic Tiny 1 team.

Finals and took five first-place finishes during the season. The Cheeriffic Junior 2 team, also winners at the US Finals at Virginia Beach in a 22-team division, closed out the season ranked seventh in the country out of 158 total squads. Among those Junior 2 teams classified as “Small Gym,” the Cheeriffic All-Stars were rated second in the nation. Hartman said Cheeriffic had an outstanding season. “To say our little gym in Logan went to the largest U.S. Finals and came home with three first-place finishes is a dream come true. The girls had the best performances of the season. And I couldn’t be more proud,” Hartman said. “And to top the season off, our Tiny team was crowned first in the nation. This is a great accomplishment. They work hard and are simply amazing.” Bryant said it was a major accomplishment to bring home a sixth overall national championship. “Our program is blessed,” she said. “It’s a huge accomplishment getting a first-in-the-nation ranking and this year makes our sixth overall national title in four years. Tinys and Minis had a undefeated season. These amazing athletes have made Cheeriffic so proud. They have hearts of a champion and show it in every aspect of their lives. Each of these girls are a blessing to me and I am honored to be their coach.” Back on May 2-3, the Cheeriffic Junior 2 team competed in The Summit, a defacto national championship youth all-star cheerleading competition, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando. In Florida, Cheeriffic took 22nd place in their insanely tough 34-team field, beating out two squads from Pittsburgh and an international team from Tokyo, Japan. Cheeriffic competed against the Pacific Coast All-Stars — a Los Angeles area team which boasts a gym with more than 1,000 total cheerleaders to pick from. “Dreams really do come true,” Bryant said when asked about The Summit. “To earn a bid to the Summit is a huge accomplishment. We were against the cream of the crop. Every team there is a firstplace team. It was the most elaborate competition we have ever attended. Our Junior team hit a perfect routine.” Hartman said it was just an honor to compete in The Summit, which brought in some of the elite youth all-star cheer groups from throughout the nation and from foreign countries. “We were honored to be invited to attend The Summit this season,” Hartman said. “Their catch phrase is ‘Where bids are earned NOT given.” And it truly is. Our J2 team competed alongside the most elite and prestigious gyms in the country. They performed great and put Cheeriffic’s name out there for everyone to know.” The Cheeriffic Junior 3 team, the most advanced squad in the Cheeriffic AllStar troop, closed out last season ranked 27th in the nation out of 102 teams. The team earned a second-place finish at the US Finals. Cheeriffic’s national title this year was the fourth straight year a team had been crowned as overall national champions. In 2012, the Cheeriffic Tiny and Mini teams won national titles. In 2013, the Mini and Youth teams from Cheeriffic took national crowns. In 2014, the Youth Level team brought home a national title. Cheeriffic was also recognized and honored three times during the 2014-15 season. Back in February, West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and the West Virginia State Legislature honored the cheerleaders at the State Capitol Building in Charleston. Cheeriffic was also honored by the City of Logan and its “Cheeriffic Day” throughout the city on January 22, and later by the Logan County Commission. Hartman said the 2014-15 season was a huge challenge for the cheerleaders and the entire organization. “Throughout this entire season, our girls have seen themselves as champions and that showed every time they hit that competition mat,” she said. “These have been the hardest routines we have ever done and our athletes made them look so easy. We have had great success and accomplished so many achievements. All teams combined we have achieved three second places, a fourth place and 16 first places, plus numerous level champs, grand champs, paid bids, a Summit bid and tumbling/ stunt specialty awards. We are blessed and we are a truly blessed program.” The Cheeriffic organization, however, is not resting. The 2015-16 season is just around the corner and Cheeriffic is scheduled to take part in its first competition in late November in Raleigh, N.C. Cheeriffic is expected to field four teams this season. The team practices at the old Stollings Grade School gym on the new spring board mat which was installed in August 2014 by parents, friends and volunteers. Bryant said her mother Teresa has also been a big help to Cheeriffic over the years. “My mother has been the backbone of the Cheeriffic program,” Heather Bryant said. “She is always instilling that ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ Without her always teaching us about the Lord, we wouldn’t have the strength and courage to achieve greatness. I’m looking forward to this upcoming season and seeing these girls achieve championships.” Hartman said she’s looking forward to this season. “Something our teams are always able to accomplish is that ‘Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress. Working together is success,’” she said. “I look forward to seeing what this season holds for the teams. And I cannot wait to see what championships these all star athletes bring home.” 24 Sunday, November 1, 2015 CheErleading Preview EMS Tire Pros 170 Stollings Avenue Logan, WV 25601 304-752-6070 emstireandauto.com Make a tire or auto repair appointment today!
