Divisions

One aspect of providing the best competition experience is by offering an appropriate mix of divisions for teams to compete within. As a Member Company of the USASF, the divisions offered at Universal Spirit events are those defined in the official USASF Age and Division Guidelines.

All Star Cheer Divisions >>>
School, Dance and Individual Divisions >>>

Universal Spirit reserves the right to add/combine division(s) to create the best possible atmosphere for a competitive event. Universal Spirit may split division categories into Small and Large depending on the number of teams registered within a division category.

LevelPlay

One aspect of providing the best competition experience is allowing teams to compete against other teams of a similar skill level via LevelPlay. Universal Spirit offers six distinct levels, Level 1 thru Level 6, with progressively less restrictive rules that allow for more technically complex skills as you move to each higher level.
