Cheer Competition Production in Atlanta
Atlanta is one of the nation's premier hubs for competitive cheer, hosting major allstar nationals, scholastic state championships, and touring regional competitions year-round. Rocket Productions delivers the staging, lighting, LED scoring displays, audio systems, and broadcast infrastructure that keep these high-energy events running on time, on brand, and on camera.
Why Atlanta Teams Choose Rocket
Atlanta's Cheer Competition Production Partner
Metro Atlanta hosts hundreds of cheer competitions every season, from NFinity Champion League stops and major allstar nationals at Georgia World Congress Center to scholastic regionals at convention centers across Gwinnett, Cobb, and Fulton counties. Each of these events demands production that matches the intensity athletes bring to the mat: consistent lighting that never favors one mat over another, audio that plays routine music with zero latency, LED scoring displays that update in real time, and staging platforms built to withstand the impact of elite tumbling and stunting.
Rocket Productions has been the behind-the-scenes production partner for cheer competition organizers throughout the Southeast for years. We understand the unique requirements that set cheer apart from every other live event format. Competition lighting must be perfectly uniform across every square foot of every performance mat so judges and cameras capture routines without shadows or color-temperature shifts. Audio systems must handle the rapid-fire cycling of routine music tracks, MC announcements, crowd prompts, and award ceremony walk-on music with seamless, instant transitions. LED video walls must simultaneously feed live scoring, sponsor content, IMAG camera shots, and athlete introductions without a single dropped frame.
Beyond the competition floor, we design and build warm-up area staging, vendor village power and lighting, VIP hospitality environments, and broadcast infrastructure for live streaming to platforms like Varsity TV and FloCheer. Whether you are producing a two-day allstar national with four competition mats and 300 teams or a single-mat scholastic invitational for 40 squads, our team scales production to fit your footprint, your schedule, and your budget.

How It Works
Competition Production Process
Competition Advance
We start with a detailed advance call with your event director to understand mat count, schedule flow, scoring system requirements, broadcast needs, and sponsor deliverables. Our team conducts a venue site survey to document rigging points, power distribution, loading dock access, and any venue-specific constraints.
Technical Design
Our production designers create detailed CAD floor plans showing mat placement, warm-up zones, staging positions, LED display locations, speaker placement, and lighting plots. Every design is reviewed with your team and the venue to ensure compliance with fire marshal requirements and ADA accessibility standards.
Load-In & Setup
Our crew arrives with all equipment, typically one to two days before competition day. We build the staging, hang lighting and truss, install LED displays and scoring systems, tune the audio system, and run comprehensive tech rehearsals to verify every cue and feed before athletes arrive.
Competition Days
A dedicated technical director and full crew remain on site for the duration of the event. We manage routine music playback, live scoring displays, IMAG camera switching, MC audio, award ceremony lighting cues, and real-time troubleshooting so your event runs seamlessly from opening ceremonies to final awards.
Strike & Wrap
After the final award is presented, our crew executes an efficient strike, clearing all equipment and restoring the venue to its original condition. We deliver post-event documentation including equipment inventories and technical notes for future events at the same venue.
