About Us

The Hawaii State Cheerleading Judges Association (HSCJA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Kailua, Hawaii. We are dedicated to promoting fair, consistent, and professional judging standards for cheerleading competitions across the state of Hawaii. Our members are trained, certified cheerleading judges who are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, expertise, and professionalism in the evaluation of cheerleading performances at all levels — from youth and high school to collegiate and all-star competitions.

Mission & Vision

Our mission is to develop and maintain a corps of highly trained, certified cheerleading judges in Hawaii, to promote consistent and fair judging standards across all levels of cheerleading competition, and to support the growth and development of cheerleading as a sport in the Aloha State. We envision a Hawaii where every cheerleading athlete competes on a level playing field, evaluated by knowledgeable, impartial, and professionally trained judges.

Why Judging Matters

Skilled, well-trained judges ensure that competitions are fair, that athletes are evaluated consistently, and that the sport continues to grow and improve. The Hawaii State Cheerleading Judges Association is committed to providing Hawaii's cheerleading community with the best-trained, most professional judges in the state.
