All-State Squad Information
2026 All-State Performance
March 13, 2026 at Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines
The Iowa All-State Cheerleading Squad is an ICCA/IHSAA sponsored, select team. Any bona fide high school cheerleader of an ICCA member team can try out for the team. Tryouts are held in October every year. Candidates are judged on their motions, jumps, dance ability, and tumbling skills. A team of 20-45 of Iowa’s best cheerleaders is chosen. A choreographer is hired and the team practices on four different Sundays from January to March. During the IHSAA Boys State Basketball Tournament, the team comes together and performs during half time of two of the Friday games. The final performance is televised and team members are presented with medals.
