2019 KSHSAA Game Day Spirit Showcase Competition Information

KSHSAA Member School Cheer Coaches and Squads,

We hope you will join us for the annual KSHSAA sponsored cheer competition!

Building upon the success of our first two Showcases, the 2019KSHSAAGameDaySpiritShowcaseCompetition will be another very exciting event for KSHSAA member school cheer squads to perform and compete with other school cheer squads from their classification.

The Varsity Spirit Game Day format was chosen by the KSHSAA as a way to exemplify what cheerleading represents. The exhilaration of leading a crowd through sideline cheer is what the competition demonstrates. In preparing for the showcase, cheer squads will improve their sideline skills, safety techniques, and leadership abilities. These practices validate the importance of an outstanding high school cheerleading squad.

We invite you to participate in the KSHSAA Game Day Spirit Showcase Competition.

Be safe, have fun, and good luck to all participants!

KSHSAA Member School Cheer Squads Extra Rules in Kansas

! The following extra rules are Kansas specific and should be added as a supplement to the 2019-2020 NFHS Rules Book.

! KSHSAA No Toss Rule for Cheer All tosses, including basket, elevator, and single-leg tosses that are initiated from waist level and directly release to a cradle catch, are prohibited to minimize the possibility of a serious accident and/or injury. A release to a cradle is legal in Kansas as long as the upward momentum stops or changes direction at shoulder level or above immediately prior to the release, and the release does not exceed 3 feet in height above the tosser's extended hands. The "no tosses" rule applies at all times and at all places, including in Kansas and outside of the Kansas borders.

! A Pop-Toss, to a cradle is legal in Kansas as long as momentum stops at shoulder height or above

immediately prior to the toss (one second) and the toss does not exceed 3 feet in height above the tosser’s hands.

! In Kansas (Rule 2-9-4b) a top person while suspended mid-air may NOT hold anything in their hands.

Performing Conditions and Surfaces

It is ILLEGAL TO STUNT: -where there is not enough area to be SAFE! -on a wet surface. -on a concrete or asphalt track. (Rubberized tracks are considered appropriate if dry, and well-maintained.) -only stunt with adequate space and lighting.
