If chosen to represent the United States in international competition, the team will be trusted by the coaching staff to uphold the USA Cheer image under high professionalism and sportsmanship.

• Uniforms: USA uniforms will not be provided as teams are chosen wholly as programs. The team may purchase red, white, and blue versions of their team uniforms, but the logos of the program or institution must stay intact. Any additional uniform purchase will not be covered by USA Cheer.
• Routine Style: Routines will be competed “ICU Style”, inferring a USA-themed crowd leading cheer prior to a 2:15 routine with music. Please review the ICU Scoring HERE to familiarize the difference in ICU competition vs. the competition style of your team.
• Safety Rules & Age Grid will follow ICU format. Refer to the ICU Safety Rules & Age Grid page HERE.
