How big can a team be, and can I compete on more than one team?

Question

Accepted Answer

From the Composition and Eligibility rules in Cheer Canada's 2026-2027 division list:

Team size: 5 to 30 athletes in Canada, or up to 36 for the University division.
Coed: males cannot exceed two-thirds of a coed team's roster.
Crossovers: athletes cannot move between Novice, Prep and All Star divisions. They generally cannot switch programs at the same event, except a Level 7 team when their home program does not offer Level 7 or 7NT.
Multiple teams: you can compete on up to three cheer teams per event, not counting Performance Cheer divisions.
Replacements: a team can make up to three unplanned replacements. Beyond that, or if a replacement does not meet the division's age requirements, the team performs for exhibition only.
Scholastic: school athletes must attend the school they represent; collegiate athletes must be enrolled in three courses at their institution.
Inclusion: if more than 25% of a roster is athletes aged 8 and older with adaptive abilities, Unified, Traditional Special Olympics and Adaptive divisions become available.
