America’s Best Kansas City Nationals will be held on Saturday and Sunday, December 13 and 14, 2025 at the Kansas City Convention Center located at 301 W. 13th Street in Kansas City, MO. (Municipal Auditorium)
Teams attending this event: Feisty, Fuel, Fiesta, Forecast, Fanta, Flawless, Fresh, Fearless and Fierce Five
Athletes are asked to arrive in time to cheer on Fresh at 11:58. We need every athlete to cheer on all teams attending the competition this weekend. As you can see from the schedule we have several teams going back to back which will make it easy for athletes and parents to stay and cheer, but please do not forget the teams that do not go in that stretch. Please be there to watch Fresh, Forecast and Fiesta! We have paired up teams so that everyone will have a buddy team they can count on for lots of Spirit! Buddy teams are responsible to bring the ENERGY at each performance! Spirit Leaders will also be organizing the parents to get the crowd involved! *Coaches will meet with each team BEFORE they are allowed to leave so be sure you do not leave prior to meeting with your team and coach.
