Cheer For Another Country??

[cheerdude17]

Would it be possible/legal to be a US Citizen, but be on Team Canada's Cheer team for ICU??? Would I even be allowed to try-out??

Almost positive you can cheer....I know at my gym in Canada we had Americans commute a few times to compete on our worlds teams because we were the closet gym to them and they never had an issue...however ICU may be different

I'm pretty sure allstar is different than ICU. Allstar isn't defined by regions so it doesn't matter where you live, only what gym you cheer at, but with ICU I'm pretty sure you have to be a citizen of the country you are trying to represent.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm almost positive this is the case.

I have a question, for example, I'm Mexican but I cheer in a US program, and I'm on a worlds team, am I able to compete in worlds with them? Like in any division?

Yes. Whatever team you're on by club it doesn't matter your country of citizenship. Ie Ulrikke (sp?) At CEA. Now as for ICU I believe you must compete with country of citizenship, idk.

I feel as if many athletes who did not make Team USA, would go cheer for a different country to be on an ICU team

I do believe you must have proof of citizenship in the country you want to Cheer for or at least the last 5 years or more residency in the country to wish to cheer for. For ICU...not fact, but I think this is what the criteria is.

out of curiosity what do other countries have as requirements for ICU, for team canada i know for coed you must have triple jumps to tuck, 2 to layout, round off full, and be a pretty well rounded athlete as well as showcase (via youtube video) a specific stunt sequence.

I'm not really sure about this but for team Mexico I believe you must have at least standing bhs or back tuck, I don't really know for running and stunt skills

As far as I'm aware the UK/England/Scotland teams are just a team who is already going to worlds- there is no separate "team UK"

Most countries are actually like that. This was the first year Team Australia was selected and not just the best team already heading over to worlds.

I noticed that with England this year, cos they wore their all-star team uniforms. I think they should have at least gotten Team England uniforms, but I suppose that's tough with time and money limitations possibly in place.
