Cheer virtual credentialing deadline nears

All U.S.-based cheer teams competing at The Cheerleading Worlds are required to have a coach, or combination of coaches, with credentials in both building and tumbling through the level of the team. Only coaches who meet the eligibility and credentialing criteria above may enter warm-up rooms with their teams. Need to credential? Virtual credentialing sessions close Wednesday, March 12, 2025. After that, the only option will be on-site credentialing in Orlando for a $500 added fee. Click here for more details.
