SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Coaches are encouraged to review videos prior to submission to ensure they are clear and able to be utilized for review.

Please allow 10-14 days for review of your video and be aware response time is likely to increase leading up to major event weekends due to the volume of inquiries. The highest volume times are usually early December, mid-February, and late April going into early May. Please plan accordingly and be patient. Most replies will be sent mid-week due to the travel schedules of the officials on the USASF Coach App Review Team.

Please submit your video only ONE TIME. If it is showing in the Coach App, it has been received.
The ruling is valid only if the skill is performed exactly the same in the video as it is at the sanctioned competition.
Videos must be of your team in a practice environment not at a competition.
Videos must display in an upright manner when viewed (i.e. the floor should be on the bottom and the ceiling on top).
For accurate rulings, videos must be filmed specifically to showcase the skill or sequence in question, providing conclusive evidence.
- An angled point of view can sometimes be more effective than a straight-on view, as it may reveal details more clearly.
Videos must be of a single skill or sequence.
- Videos should include the minimal number of athletes possible.
- Ensure no additional individuals appear in the video, as their presence could affect the ruling.
Athletes should be dressed appropriately.
Responses will only be provided through the Coach App; no other communication methods, such as text, social media, or email, will be used.
Please be sure to check the comments from the reviewer for any warnings.
Scoring questions will not be answered. Submissions should only question if a skill is legal or not.
Groups & Pairs (Dance ONLY)
- Please include the executing dancer entering and exiting the skill in question.
- Make sure contact between the executing dancer(s) and supporting dancer(s) is clearly visible. Submit multiple angles as needed.

Props do not require prior approval. The only types of approved props are outlined in the USASF Cheer or Dance Rules (www.usasf.net/rules).
