The American Championships

Each competition season, you spend countless hours preparing your squad, practicing your skills and perfecting your routine. We want you to know – we’re working just as hard on our events. We work passionately to deliver exceptionally trustworthy events that demonstrate our genuine care for you, your team members, and their parents.

We have built our events around the thoughts and suggestions of every coach we’ve come in contact with.  It’s our goal to exceed your expectations.

The American Championship Events feature high energy production, first class warm-up areas with full size floors and double wide tumbling strips, elevated performance floor or elevated spectator seating at every location, state-of-the-art judging system featuring video replay, awards ceremonies with Olympic Style Awards stages, jackets for champions, and gifts for all competitors and coaches.
