Cheer & Performance
Facility Specification Pack
Cheer and performance facilities combine floor performance, tumbling/landing safety, clear height, team circulation, music/scoring and spectator/event operations. Training floors and competition floors should be planned around the relevant discipline rather than generic multipurpose-room assumptions.

PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01
PROJECT INTENT
Define the facility level before selecting systems.
Club / academy
Club/academy hall with dedicated floor, tumbling/training systems and storage.
Competition
Competition-capable venue aligned to current ICU discipline and event requirements.
Elite / major venue
Major event hall with show floor, warm-up, spectators, audio, displays and professional operations.
02
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.
geometry
Define the exact cheer/performance discipline, floor size, boundary, warm-up and team holding areas from the current event brief.
surface
Competition/training floors may use different sprung, mat or performance-surface systems; impact and joint stability need to match the discipline.
equipment
Mats, sprung systems, training aids, tumbling systems and music/event equipment require safe setup and storage.
lighting
Provide even visibility without glare in upward athlete sightlines and without camera flicker at events.
spectators
Separate performance/warm-up/team zones from spectators while maintaining clear event circulation and accessible viewing.
structure
Clear height, roof services, rigging and floor/slab interface should be coordinated around lifts/tosses and equipment.
environment
Ventilation, temperature, humidity and chalk/cleaning conditions affect comfort and floor performance.
accessibility
Plan inclusive/adaptive participation and accessible spectator routes where the programme requires them.
storage
Roll floors, mats, training aids, sound equipment and event furniture need large, nearby storage and safe handling.
technology
Music playback, scoring/judging, cameras, FÍSVOR and event timing should share a controlled operating layer.
evidence
Use the current ICU safety rules and event rules for the applicable discipline; exact floor/equipment and building evidence remain separate.
lifecycle
Inspect seams, mats/sprung floor, training aids, sound/scoring, lighting and storage/handling systems.

05
EVIDENCE & RELEASE
Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.
Governing rule
Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.
Exact product evidence
Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.
Installed outcome
Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.
Project engineering
Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.
Commercial release
Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK
Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.
Floor gaps / movement
Review installation, joins and storage/handling.
Hard landing response
Inspect floor/mat system and replace damaged impact components.
Clear-height conflict
Review roof services/fixtures and discipline requirements.
Music/audio failure
Check playback, redundancy, cabling and operator setup.
Warm-up congestion
Review team flow, holding and performance-floor access.
Spectator encroachment
Strengthen barriers/circulation and event controls.

SUPPLY BOUNDARY
Apollo is supply-only.
Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
