The Cheerleading Worlds

It’s here - Worlds 2026! The coaches are very excited to see each of these great teams take the floor at the Cheerleading Worlds. This is an incredible experience for all of these athletes. We hope that the athletes remember that they “Get to do this”. Only a small percentage of athletes in this sport ever compete on a Worlds team. Enjoy the opportunity and make memories with their teammates. Both teams have had unique experiences this season and we couldn’t be prouder of their resilience, determination and perseverance! We have grown not only a athletes but as people!

THANK YOU to all family members for supporting your athlete on this journey. Being an athlete on a Worlds team requires much more that physical skill and it is often emotionally challenging, mentally draining and physically exhausting. Your support of these athletes and the coaches is greatly appreciated. A worlds team requires the commitment of the entire family, no one could do this without you.

Don’t miss the Worlds Send off at KC Cheer -Wednesday, April 22nd. Schedule for performances is below:

  • Fearless - 8:15

  • Fierce 5- 8:45

In this post you will find all team information for The Cheerleading Worlds 2026. Teams are staying at Allstar Sports Resort. Everyone should have received specific check in and park hopper information already. It is very important that you stay up to date through The Cheerleading Worlds band for spectators/parents. Most importantly, your park hopper pass is blank until you link it to your reservation. This must be done even if you do not intend to go to a theme park. It must be linked so that you can enter the Wide World of Sports complex. Don’t forget to take a picture of the back of your park hopper pass! If it is lost we can get it replaced if we have the number on the back.

Curfew will be 10:30 each night and strictly enforced. Please remember all the Code of Conduct information we reviewed and the athletes have signed. Remember that you are representing KC Cheer from the time you check into the hotel until the time you leave the hotel.

Each team has a Safety Champion who will be helping us be sure spectators and athletes are following all rules and guidelines.

Remember you will need lanyards and park hopper pass to get on the bus and into the competition. Athletes must have Government Issued ID, Drivers License or Passport. Photo ID to get into practice room! NO EXCEPTIONS (school IDs are not acceptable)
