Worlds Cheerleading Competition

One of the most important worlds cheerleading competition is the one organized by the International Cheer Union (ICU). No less than 95 National Federations are members of the ICU, and the union keeps growing amongst those who strive to bring cheerleading ahead and help it advance. The ICU believes in strong ideals and principles which have been brought together with the help of numerous organizations and individuals who come from many different countries.

Important Facts about ICU Cheerleading

The International Cheer Union is in itself an international governing entity with non-profit purpose. However, it does have a much important purpose which is that of supporting and helping the cheerleading sport advance and develop further. In any area that cheerleading exists, the ICU will have a Governing Council to represent it.

The ICU also supports the establishment of the National Cheer Federation or the National Governing Bodies for Sport Cheer, in case a country doesn’t have it. The support of ICU is offered as much as possible, with the mention that certain legal requirements are different in some countries than in others. However, the ICU stands by those who want to establish an entity in their country with recommendations and assisting along the process.

Activities of the International Cheer Union

The ICU clearly states that its main operative purpose is that of being an International Federation for the Cheer sport. However, this nonprofit governing entity has the liberty to assist, direct, promote, organize and manage various activities that are related to the sport of cheer. It can also perpetuate the sport globally and help improve it.

On the other hand, a no-less important purpose of the ICU is that of supporting the young people’s passion for the sport of cheer and encourage its growth and development. The Union is also established to encourage the formation of national teams in various countries worldwide which can later represent their country at 2011 cheerleading competitions, exchanges and various events.
