Cheer / Dance State Championships Postponed Due to Weather
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBER SCHOOLS AND COMPETITIVE CHEER/DANCE PARTICIPATING TEAMS, SCHOOLS, ADMINISTRATORS AND FANS
Due to the onset of the latest round of inclement weather overnight Thursday into Friday morning, and additional snow and ice expected, along with bitterly cold temperatures that will minimise snowmelt, the 2025-26 KHSAA State Competitive Cheer & Dance Championships have been postponed. With more than 100 Cheer squads and nearly 70 Dance squads headed to the state site in Winchester, the safety of participants, coaches, administrators, and parents remains the primary concern around this decision.

The postponed event is now tentatively rescheduled for January 9-11, 2026, at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester. Following final confirmation of logistical details, additional notifications, including […]

11/21/25 – Clarification to Weigh-In Procedure
In an effort to address issues surrounding weigh-in procedures, meet management shall establish a set time for weigh-ins at each event, rather than a weigh-in “window.”

With this in mind, all competitors shall be present at the designated time of weigh-ins, with an emphasis on the following:
