MEMPHIS, TN, March 14, 2025 – Varsity Spirit – a division of Varsity Brands and a global leader in cheerleading, dance team and band apparel, camps and competitions, and yearbook – is pleased to announce the 2025 NCA All-Star National Championship took place on February 28 – March 2, 2025, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, TX.

For the past three decades, Dallas has proudly been the home of the NCA All-Star National Championship, produced by NCA, a Varsity Spirit brand. This prestigious event brings together top athletes from across the nation to showcase their talent, dedication, and passion on the national stage.

“For all star cheer athletes, the NCA All-Star National Championship is the ultimate stage to showcase their talent,” said Bill Seely, President of Varsity Spirit. “We are incredibly grateful to Dallas for hosting this premier event and for the unwavering support from the city, its leaders, and the entire community. This weekend, dedicated athletes from 43 states performed exceptionally and continue to elevate the sport of all star cheerleading.  We could not be more proud of their passion and commitment.”

The championship kicked off Friday night with “Battle in the Arena,” featuring exhibition performances from top League 6 teams and a production of The League Live Show. This segment offered the audience an inside look at how League 6 teams are ranked on The League leaderboard based on their scoring totals. For the second year in a row, athletes in the CheerABILITIES division showcased their teamwork and outstanding performances, competing in one of three categories: Exhibition, Novice, and Elite.

NCA also presented the “Go Be Great” award to Memphis Pride Cheer from Memphis, Tennessee for their work volunteering and raising funds for local nonprofits. The Go Be Great Foundation celebrates difference-makers and overcomers, those who serve with kindness and selflessness while sharing their gifts, talents and opportunities with others. It encourages perseverance, leadership and community.

The NCA All-Star National Championship was the first of its kind in 1995, created to provide a standalone all star event in which cheerleaders could be recognized for their skills, athleticism, entertainment and talent. For 30 years, the NCA All-Star National Championship has been held in Dallas, Texas. With the upcoming revitalization at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, the NCA All-Star National Championship will be moving to Houston, Texas, through 2028.
