Register today for our Virtual Competitions!
UCA offers a variety of opportunities for our School and All Star teams. These virtual offerings provide early judges feedback, flexibility, and an exciting start to your competition season.
How does it work?
Our filming schedule allows your program the flexibility to film during your regularly scheduled practice time, no need to make changes. Once routine videos are filmed, they will be uploaded to Varsity TV. There is no need to purchase additional equipment or internet services for your program – simply film on your phone or available camera! A UCA certified judging panel will score the routines in our Simple Score system. Score sheets and division breakdowns will be emailed to coaches, just like at an in-person event. The event will then be available to watch on–demand on the event date on Varsity TV.
How will I upload my routine video and watch the Virtual Competition?
Registered teams will receive the PDF form needed to record each routine. The Monday of the event, teams will receive an email with a link to the applicable Varsity TV video uploader. Once this information is sent, teams will record their video and submit it, following the uploader steps provided. That weekend routines will be available to watch for all subscribers on Varsity TV. UCA Certified Judges will score routines in our Simple Score system and teams will receive standard score sheets and feedback. Awards will take place on Sunday, on Varsity TV.
What is the Recording Template?
In order to make sure your routine is scored correctly, please include the following template when filming.

What kind of video do I need to submit? Teams must submit a video recording of their routine taken in their practice facility, using a template provided. Videos must be one take – edited footage will not be accepted. All 4 corners of the floor should be visible when possible and athletes must perform on a safe surface. The program must own rights to this video and consent to it being posted on Varsity TV for use in the UCA Virtual. Once routine videos are filmed, they will be uploaded to Varsity TV. There is no need to purchase additional equipment or internet services for your program – simply film on your phone or available camera! Be sure to check out our Filming Guide document for recording tips!
What should my team wear?
Teams may submit videos in their practice wear or uniforms.
How will teams be scored? Once routine videos are filmed and uploaded to Varsity TV, a UCA certified judging panel will score the routines in our Simple Score system. Score sheets and division breakdowns will be emailed to coaches, just like at an in-person event.
