LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.

One thousand one hundred twenty-five teams from 33 states competed at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, showcasing their incredible athleticism and abilities in stunting, tumbling, and crowd-leading.

Teams competed in Traditional Routine, Game Day, and the newest division at the championship, Game Day Live, which was added in 2020 and offers cheer teams the opportunity to perform with their school’s band members taking their traditions from the sidelines to the competition floor.
