Teams that registered and said that they will be arriving in a bus, will receive a print at home parking pass the week before the game. Charter buses will park on Chiefton Way and MUST enter from Call Street. Please see map below and follow the charter bus route shown.
We have worked out with FSU PD to allow you all to DROP OFF your participants at the intersection of Spirit & Stadium (which if you look at the map below it’s right where the blue #2 is) from 10:45 am – 11: 15 am (near the soccer field). We will have athletes there to walk participants over, should you chose this option. Please be quick when letting them out at this location. If you chose to drop them off and go park, we can give your packet to your FSU buddy to hang onto until you arrive. Booster lots do not open until 12:00 pm.

GAME PERFORMANCE INFO:
25 minutes before kick-off (when the football teams clear the field) all participants can begin to make their way to the field – weather permitting
When registering your child for the clinic, each registration comes with ONE football game ticket for the participant. If you would like to purchase additional tickets for yourself, family, or friends, please make sure to purchase them before checking out.
NO BACKPACKS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE STADIUM and FSU has gone to the CLEAR BAG POLICY so please make sure to go on the following link to ensure that you have no issues upon entering the stadium. If you have backpacks or purses/bags that do not follow the policy below, they will not allow you to enter the stadium and you will have to take them back to your vehicles. https://seminoles.com/fsu-clear-bag-policy/
ATTIRE:
Shirts are garnet and any athletic short is fine (we recommend black). Please make sure all athletes have on sneakers. All participants and registered coaches will need to wear the shirt and wristband provided in the packets for the on field performance. No parents will be allowed onto the field for pre-game, just registered coaches with teams (please understand and assist us with this wish so we can continue to allow this event to take place in a safe environment and atmosphere).
GENERAL: View larger version of the stadium seating map.
Clinics are taught by the FSU cheerleaders & Golden Girls Dance Team. There will be two separate clinics going on at the same time. One being the cheerleading and one being the dance. Both clinics will be split up by age/talent level and will be assigned a “FSU BUDDY” that will be in their teaching group, as well as their on the field contact person. The groups will be split up as follows: Beginner Garnet (3-5 year olds), Beginner Gold (6-8) Intermediate (9-13 years old), Advanced (13 and up) & then Teams. Pre-game performance could be delayed or cancelled should there be bad weather in the area. We will get information out via the email address and cell phone number that you registered with so please make sure that is correct. Please understand we will do what is safe for our participants and university athletes and follow the instructions of our administrative staff should there be inclement weather. No refunds will be provided should this occur.
PRE-GAME PERFORMANCE:
At 25:00 minutes on the game clock (when the football teams clear the field) all participants can begin to make their way to the SOUTH WEST side of the stadium and enter field from stairs in section 119. The participants face the South endzone for the performance so you should be able to get pictures from section 118. After the on-field performance participants will exit the field and go back into the stands using the same staircase. If you do not have tickets section 118, we encourage you to watch the performance from our section. Coaches can immediately take teams from field back into the seats.
HYDRATE!!!!
It is forecasted to be EXTREMELY HOT on Saturday so please make sure that you and your participant are drinking plenty of water NOW to ensure that you are prepared for the heat index on Saturday.
Shoes must be worn throughout the clinic, especially for the dancers. No exceptions will be made, so please plan accordingly and wear athletic shoes to the clinic.
Please make sure that the cell phone number you provide during checkout is for a parent/guardian that we can be in touch with on the day of the clinic.
Check-in Process:
At check in, we will provide you with a packet that will have all of your game tickets that you ordered (participant and extras) and t-shirts ordered. Once you come into the facility you will go to the registration tables and provide them with your Eventbrite ticket (either paper copy or on your smartphone). If you do not have either, they can pull up your registration by last name. If you registered under as a group, you will check in at TEAM REGISTRATION.
Team Registration:
To register and sit together as a team, please input your team name when registering. This is helpful for us to make sure that all team registrations are kept together and will streamline the checkin process. Coach’s registrations are also available at a discount with team registrations.
