School & Rec Cheerleading
Wisconsin Spirit Competitions comply with the NFHS & AACCA surface ruling that school based programs may not compete on a spring floors.
- In addition, the AACCA released its “2011-12 School Cheer Safety Rules” which include some changes for all school teams along with the first ever set of rules specifically for elementary, middle and junior high school cheer teams.
Please take some time to review the AACCA Rules as they apply at all Wisconsin Spirit Championships. The changes were made to further the continued efforts by the AACCA and National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) to have a more consistent set of cheerleading rules. This change effectively means that there is only one remaining major difference between these two sets of rules. The AACCA restricts all released twists on basketball court surfaces without a mat, while the NFHS Spirit Rules currently allow up to one and one-quarter twists on the basketball court surface.
