Spirit & Tradition Will Take Center Stage In UDA College Game Day

The 2023 UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship has arrived and spirit is in the air! The championship will feature some of the nation's most elite and most spirited, college spirit programs and it all kicks off with the UCA & UDA College Game Day Divisions.

The UDA Game Day divisions were introduced to the championships in 2018 and consist of a Fight Song, Game Situation, and a Game Day Performance Routine.

Fight Song

Skills and choreography should represent a traditional fight song your team performs at games.

Game Situation

This component of the Game Day Championship includes two elements. Teams are encouraged to use spirit-raising props such as signs and/or poms.

A real-life scenario where the team will react to an audio cue with an offense or defense game sideline (chant).

Timeout (band dance to band music) designed for crowd interaction. The timeout should be the same, regardless of what situation (offense or defense) you are given.

Performance Routine

A 30-second routine (can be any style) that is designed for crowd entertainment.

This is the best time to showcase your team’s energy and connection to the crowd.
