As event producers, next season’s preparations are in full swing. Currently, we are dealing with making Score Sheet decisions. Varsity All Star has two years under its belt with the Varsity All Star Score Sheet (six years if you consider the fact that it was built, in a large part, off of NCA’s score sheet). It’s been interesting to speak with so many coaches. EVERYBODY has an opinion on what the best Score Sheet looks like—we at Varsity Al l Star definitely have ours—and NO two opinions are the same.
One noticeable benefit of the standardized Score Sheet is the coaches training and understanding. While a coach may or may not agree that a Stunt Category should be worth 10% or that Motions/Dance should require Footwork and Floorwork, we all agree that All Star Cheerleading is slowly moving to a less chaotic environment where good cheerleading isn’t defined differently every single weekend.
What does a perfect Score Sheet look like to you? Do you want to know that by doing skills A, B, C, D, and E, your team is absolutely going to max out a category? Or do you find it refreshing to construct a creative and unique routine that doesn’t have the same parameters? How important is stunting? What would you change about deduction systems if you had a chance?
I’d like to start an honest discussion about Score Sheet preferences. I DO NOT want to turn this into “which company has the best Score Sheet?” So, let’s leave names out of your responses (except for Varsity All Star, of course).
If you were in charge of building the perfect Score Sheet, WHAT would it look like?
