07/29/22 – Competitive Cheer Postseason Update & Regional Hosts Sought

July 29, 2022 Athletic Department Blog Updates

The KHSAA office is accepting applications to host the regionals of the Competitive Cheer postseason. Four hosts are needed, and regions can alternate host sites (Region 1 one year and Region 2 site the next) or choose a permanent location based upon facility abilities and availability. The competition rules will stipulate that the odd region listed in the alternation table would recommend the region site in the odd year and the even region in the even year. Sites selected must be able to accommodate the historic crowds, similar to the criteria for the current basketball site selection.

Athletic Administrators from both combined regions are responsible for making decisions such as expenses and division of any revenue as a group.  The “host” region is not solely responsible for this and this will be a discussion topic at the upcoming fall Regional Meetings with schools.

The Commissioner’s office would make the final selection based on the recommendations and consider all other factors. The Commissioner’s office will handle all ticketing electronically through the GoFan ticketing system and remit the receipts less the cost of trophies and officials to the host school.

To permit schools to plan and prepare, following are the tentative future dates as of this time:

*Tentative corresponding dates but may be adjusted due to judge availability. 

Any member school interested in hosting should fill out Form GE59: https://khsaa.org/ge59-application-for-hosting-ar-bf-xc-gf-sw-tn-tr/

The Competitive Cheer alignment can be found here: https://khsaa.org/competitive-cheer-alignment/ If your school is missing from this list, please be sure to get with your school’s Athletic Director to add Competitive Cheer on the KHSAA database. 

Schools who wish to compete in the KHSAA Competitive Cheer postseason will receive a notification when CC101 (Competitive Cheer Division Declaration form) is open and available. Contact Sarah Bridenbaugh (sbridenbaugh@khsaa.org) should you have any questions pertaining to Competitive Cheer.
