Can we use props in our routine?

Props are optional. The only props allowed are:

• Flags
• Standard flat banners or signs
• Pom pons
• Megaphones
• Pieces of cloth

Rules for props:

• No sharp, unyielding or pointed edges, and nothing that blocks or could block your vision.
• No prop may bear weight, and you can't put weight on one.
• Props with poles or similar supports can't be used with any stunt or tumbling.
• Props must be discarded safely. Throwing a hard sign across the mat from a stunt is illegal.
• No tumbling while holding or touching a prop, and no tumbling over, under or through one.
• Once a uniform piece is purposely used for visual effect, it counts as a prop.
