Cheer For Another Country??

[ACE Tribe]

Team Scotland has tryouts, where we do stunts, tumbling, jumps, motions and pyramid and in the past we had to learn a dance also. Last year we had to audition in stunt groups like Team USA

"All athletes are required to be permanent residents of their respective nation on the 2013 World Championship date. Federation to determine status."

Correct.

As a side note: In Germany, the rule is that each team (competing at German competitions) for CCVD are allowed only 1 member to be a national of a "pro-cheerleading oriented" country (USA and Canada), unless the person can prove they have resided in Germany for at least 5 years. No American or Canadian is allowed to compete in group or partner stunt unless they have lived in Germany for at least 5 years... This was my demise while I lived abroad :D

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??

Sorry, we require you to be a Canadian Citizen to be on Team Canada. I think other countries may allow this (Australia comes to mind), but Team Canada is all Canadian. Thank you for your interest though!
