We're excited to continue Nationals season with NCA All-Star Nationals in Dallas, Texas! This is a huge competition full of outstanding teams and it is a ton of fun. We are very excited for our teams to compete with some of the best in the nation. Below you will find many travel details and guidelines for the upcoming weekend. Please have this information handy to refer to throughout the weekend.

The competition will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas. Please click here to view the event’s spectator packet that includes information on ticket prices, parking and other helpful information. The competition will also be covered at varsity.com/17dallas. KC Cheer has a team room in the convention center. The room number is D172. Teams will be using this room throughout the weekend for a meeting place and any practices we may need. Do not leave your valuables in this room, as it will not be locked.

We will be staying at the Hyatt Regency North Dallas, which is in Richardson, Texas. It is 16 miles from the Convention Center, which is about a 30 minute drive. We will be using the buses to shuttle teams and parents back and forth throughout the weekend. It is imperative that all athletes are on time, as it takes a while to get from one place to another.

As you may know, this competition spans the course of four days rather than just two. Level 4 teams will compete on Friday and Saturday. Level 2 & 3 teams will compete on Saturday and Sunday. Level 5 teams will compete on Sunday and Monday. The itineraries are separated out below by level in order to provide consolidated information for each team.

Our main goals for this weekend are for cheerleaders to perform to the very best of your ability, and you support all KC Cheer teams by cheering them on at each performance. We also ask that you conduct yourselves in a responsible and respectable manner. We'd also like for our parents to help us monitor our athletes this weekend. Please give them support and guidance when they need it. Bring your loud voices and KC Cheer spirit to each and every performance.

Please read all information below regarding any questions about gym policies and expectations. They are the same as they have been all season, but we've included them in case you need a refresher :) We have moved the Master Schedule closer to the top of the page for easy access.

Master KC Cheer Performance Schedule

We will not know the performance times for each team’s 2nd day until we know placements after Day 1. Please refer to the KC Cheer Master Performance Schedule which will be updated as we learn times.

ATTIRE

Since we're all competing on different days, all teams will wear the same thing on THEIR day one and day 2, regardless of what day of the weekend that is. This means sometimes you might see an athlete in a different outfit than yours, and that's okay!

Day 1: Red KC Cheer Tank, White Bow

Day 2: Black "KC Will Never Surrender" Tank, Red Bow
