Results: 2013 Spirit of Hope Results Additional InformationFloors: Universal Spirit utilizes the state-of-the-art AAI ELITE™ Power Cheer Floor for our cheer teams and a 40' x 40' Harlequin® dance floor for our dance teams. Warm-up: All cheer teams will have an opportunity to warm up prior to their event. The cheer warm up room features four 54ft. X 42ft. foam floors, four 12ft. X 72ft. spring floor tumble strips, four 18ft. X 42ft. practice areas, four 6ft. X 42ft. stretching areas and two 44ft. X 56ft. spring floors. In addition, the warmup room is available on Friday night for additional practice time. To sign up for Friday night time slots, please contact the office. Spotters: Universal Spirit recognizes that many coaches would prefer that the spotters remain off of the competition surface during their teams performance so the decision to have spotters on the floor during the routine is completely up to each individual team. Universal Spirit does not provide spotters at our National Championship. Clearly, we could never prepare for the precise choreography and timing of each routine. Therefore, teams are encouraged to provide their own spotters. |
AwardsAll competitors will receive an official 2014 Spirit of Hope medal.
Every team that attends the Universal Spirit Cheerleading Nationals will receive a trophy.
The Champion in each division will receive a National Champion trophy and banner. Additionally, each member of National Champion teams, and two coaches, will receive additional prize(s).
