Every year thousands of athletes work tirelessly to perfect their craft to compete and perform for hundreds of viewers and fans. Athletes train even harder to impress panels of judges and experts for the bragging rights of being the best. In an excitement filled weekend in January, each yeah hundreds on the nations college cheerleaders come together in Orlando, Florida for the UCA & UDA college nationals.
In cheerleading a teams goal is to hit zero. This means zero deductions off of their score. Deductions can come from stunts falling, unsynchronized jump sequences, or even your finger tips grazing the floor. Unlike most sports where teams win by whole points, in the world of cheer you can lose or win by a tenth of a point. Because of this, everyone must bring their best self to the mat and work together cohesively.
