TRAVIS PRIOR – OWNER
Owner of Flip and Shout Competitions, LLC. I have been involved with cheerleading since the age of 16 when I was a high school cheerleader. I continued my cheerleading career as a 4-year collegiate varsity cheerleader. Cheerleading has opened so many doors and provided me with numerous opportunities. My experience with competitions ranges from taking teams as competitors to judging to hosting. My judging resume combines local, regional, national and international events ranging from very small to the absolute largest events in the world including being a 15 time judge for the USASF/IASF World Championships.
Born and raised in Colorado, my love and passion for the sport of Spirit is founded here.
My background with hosting events started back in 1990 when I organized and hosted the American Schools in Spain National Championships.
Realizing that I could organize and efficiently run an outstanding event and also seeing the need for “quality” High School and All Star Competitions in Colorado. This began with the CU Spirit Challenge hosted while I was the Head Coach at the University of Colorado. This event was hosted for 9 years from 2000 to 2009 and the company Flip and Shout was created. Additional High School Events Continued from 2010 to present at the Denver Colsiseum as the only place to compete in preparation for the CHSAA State Finals. Flip and Shout hosted the first ever Colorado All Star State Championship in 2004 and is now a staple among competitions for All Stars in Colorado recently passing its 15th annual event in 2018. This exclusively All Star event is designed to provide All Star Gyms in Colorado a national caliber event right in their back yard and in 2012 Dance be introduced.
In addition to hosting events in Colorado, I am now a current director for the British Cheerleading Association which hosts 10 events a year in the UK. My background in hosting events is extensive and I believe in the quality of events I offer.
