General Coaches Information:

• Registrations will only be accepted at our web-store online this year (no paper registrations).  If you need assistance in registering, please contact Erin at 602-432-5220 or erin@statecheer.com.  
• If changes are needed to your registration, please email erin@statecheer.com.  We will send a new confirmation.
• Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please verify the registration is correct and contact us if changes need to be made.  Payment or hard copy PO must be made within 30 days  or the registration will be void.   All teams must be paid by January 22, 2027!
• All registrations are completely refundable until January 1, 2027.  
• Registrations close on January 22, 2027 at 5pm. All changes or additions to numbers must be made by this date.  No exceptions.
• Preliminary order of performances will be sent out via  head coaches email the week of January 25th - no changes in divisions will be made for any reason.  You may inform us of drops in numbers but this will not change your division.  
• There must be three teams entered in a division for that division to make.  Division 3 and 4 schools will compete in Session 2 (Saturday Morning).  Division 1 and 2 schools will compete in Session 4 (Saturday Evening).  We have listed all categories separately, but if there are not three or more teams in a division that are both from Division 3 and 4 or Division 1 or 2 - we will combine that Division.  Cut off date is January 1, 2027 for the three teams entered. 
•  Coaches will be contacted by January 22, 2027 if a division will not compete.  These registrations will be refunded if needed. 
• Splits into large and small categories are dependent on the teams registered.  Once there are 9 teams entered in a division, the division will be split at the natural break for large and small.  Coaches will be notified of these splits via the Preliminary Order of Performance emailed the week of January 25th.
• All teams must follow USA Cheer rules/NF Handbook for 2026-2027 and all policies set forth on www.statecheer.com. 

Routine Material:

We encourage all teams to use original and appropriate material. There is not a penalty for using camp material however, representatives from cheer companies may be judging the tournament.

Music:

MyRemix will be providing the Music/Sound once again for this year’s Tournament. Your music must be downloaded onto your device so that it plays in “Airplane” mode.  Speaker devices will be available at each station in the Warm Up area. Remember, - US Copyright law states, ‘No teams are permitted to create a remix, mash-up or melody without proper written authorization from the copyright owners”.
