Coed: A Sectional Tourmament will be held for all Coed Teams at one site on the same date as Region for the non coed teams. The top sixteen (16) teams will advance to the State Competition.

The GHSA Office will set sites and assign judges associations for each Region Competition site. Five Routine Judges and two Restriction Judges will be required at all competitions. Host site is to secure impartial scorers and timer. Format of the region competition will be determined by the number of regions and teams assigned to the site and will be set by the host director. (Note: Regions with only one team competing will not participate in Region competition.)

Beginning with the 2010-11 basketball season, tumbling and/or stunting by spirit cheerleading squads will not be allowed at GHSA basketball games.
