Cheerleading competitions are events where cheerleading teams showcase their skills in routines that include stunts, jumps, and dance. Teams are judged on various criteria, such as creativity, difficulty, and execution. These competitions can take place at local, regional, or national levels, attracting teams from schools, colleges, and all-star programs. During a competition, teams perform their routines in front of a panel of judges and an audience. The performances are typically set to music and last around two to three minutes. Awards are given based on team performance, and the atmosphere is often energetic and supportive, celebrating the spirit of cheerleading.
