  • Get your team registered ASAP! The system should allow you to register the day following our State Tournament. Plan to register by Friday April 7 if at all possible! This requires no down payment or registration fee.  You do not need to have all of your information to register. You can continue to make adjustments in your registration up until the payment deadline.
  • The drop-dead deadline for registration is April 26. Any teams registering after this date will NOT be guaranteed a spot at World Finals!
  • Order your California State trading pins for World Finals.  The order must be placed by the May 7.  Pins can be ordered individually or for the team by the coach. If additional pins are needed you can arrange to purchase some in person at World, but we can’t guarantee availability. Get the coupon code from the SoCal State Director.
  • Order your additional California State Champion shirts by May 7. No late orders will be taken. Your t-shirts will be mailed directly to you.
  • Payment for your World Finals package is due NO LATER THAN April 26! This means payment must be RECEIVED at the National Office by this date! Purchase orders do not count as payment. You will receive a $100 discount on your package if you do your entire registration online and meet the deadlines. If you have difficulties getting payments processed in a timely manner through your school district, please contact the national office to alert them.
  • If you have team members who will be missing their graduation to attend World Finals, be sure to fill out the Graduation Registration form and send it in before April 26.
  • If you plan to participate in the Coaches Competition (and I hope you do!) be sure to send in your registration by April 28th.

If you are interested in representing California South in the Banner or Float competitions, please let contact the SoCal State Association Director  know as soon as possible.
