Competition Competing is a privilege that must be earned. The number one goal for Oviedo Cheerleaders is to provide support for Oviedo High School athletics and promote school spirit within the community. As long as Oviedo High School continues to meet the requirements set by the Seminole County District Cheer Committee and under the permission of the administration, the Oviedo High School competition squad will compete for the 2018-2019 season. The girls may compete in up to 5 competitions. The final competition squad will not be determined until October, in correlation to the FHSAA start date. In addition, not all Varsity cheerleaders are guaranteed a spot on the competition squad. New this year, all girls will try out for a spot on the competitive team. The people that make competition will not cheer at basketball games. Instead, all people not on competitive will be on a game squad. Current varsity cheerleaders will be placed on the Varsity squad, the JV and Freshman squad will be considered for one of the squads.
