We will split the day again so that athletes do not have to be at the event all day. Please note IF your meet time is earlier that the arrival time you must arrive at your team’s meet time. Also, if your awards are after the time of the last team you are required to stay for, you must stay to attend your awards ceremony.

Here is how we split the day on Sunday:

  • Force, Fab 4 and Flawless must arrive in time to watch Fuel at 8:17 and stay until their awards at 2:30. SINCE THESE ARE ALL SENIOR TEAMS WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU STAY AND CHEER ON ALL THE TEAMS UNTIL FANTASY GOES AT 4:20 P.M

  • Fearless, Fierce Five, Fantasy, Fiesta & Famous must arrive in time to watch Force at 12;12 and stay through the end of the competition.

Sunday is a relatively short day. We would love to see our KC Cheer Community at every KC Cheer performance cheering on every team. Get your cowbells, loud voices and say our Cheer to show our KC Cheer Pride. WE ARE THE HOME TEAM AND THERE IS A BEST FAN AWARD!! LET’S WIN IT!!
