In an effort to promote a higher level of safety for competing
athletes, UCA will allow programs to provide additional spotters
at UCA competitions. We feel that an all star program is more
qualified to provide additional spotters because of their familiarity
with routine skills and safety concerns.
The use of additional spotters is left to the discretion of the coach
or gym owner. All star programs may use up to 4 additional
spotters for each performance; however, additional spotters are
not required.
1)
At all UCA All Star Competitions, the use of additional
spotters is not mandatory and will be at the discretion of the
coach or gym owner. UCA provided spotters will be
available on the main competition floor at all competitions.
Coaches may choose to use the UCA provided spotters OR
their own spotters OR elect not to use spotters on the main
competition floor. Teams may provide their own spotters in
the rehearsal area or elect not to use spotters. UCA will not
have spotters available in the rehearsal area.

spotters available for all main competition floors. Teams

spotters on the main competition floor. Just a reminder all
teams who are taped during this time are not guaranteed to
be shown on the CBS telecast.
