Compete from the comfort of your home at a UCA Virtual Event this season!
How does it work?
The health and safety of your athletes, families & staff is our top priority and our Virtual Championship allows your team flexibility to maintain all applicable COVID-19 guidelines. Teams will film in their own facility and our virtual event format does not require that all participating teams be present in their gyms/studios at the same time or on the same day to help maintain social distancing and sanitation standards. 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 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. 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 KEYWORD?
While we are no longer requiring a KEYWORD for UCA/UDA Virtual Events. In order to make sure your video is formatted correctly please include the following template when filming.

What awards will be given?
Division placement banners will be awarded to each team competing that will be mailed following the event.
How do we know if our Situational Sideline is Offensive or Defensive for the Game Day Division?
Good news! For the virtual event you can decide what works best for your team.
How do people watch the event?
To upload a performance video, you must create a Varsity TV account. The account does not need to have an active subscription in order to upload a video. However, to view the videos on the event day, you need an active Varsity TV subscription. Each team will have the option to redeem a special discount to set up their own Varsity TV account that will allow them a free one-month subscription. The subscription will renew at full price on the same day the following month, unless you cancel your subscription at the end of the trial period. If you have questions about your Varsity TV account, click here.
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 UDA/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 UDA or 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.
Where can we watch the awards? Awards for each Virtual Competition will be hosted on Varsity TV and will be FREE to all viewers on their scheduled awards day.
