Cheersport Kansas City 2018

Teams will be competing at Cheersport Kansas City Championships on March 24, 2018. The event is held at The Kansas City Convention Center in downtown Kansas City. 

Admission for spectators is $15, CASH ONLY. Children 10 and under are free. A complete list of performance times and venue information can be found on the Cheersport website.

General Reminders

It is so important that all athletes are on time. These competitions will not hold our practice times, so if we are without someone at check-in, we lose our chance to warm up and practice.

It is required that all athletes be at all KC Cheer performances to cheer loudly for all our teams. Please pay close attention to the schedules below to make sure you are in the arena at all of the listed performance times. It is unacceptable to miss a performance because you're eating a meal or getting ready to meet your coach (hair and makeup). All of these activities can and should be planned around performance times.

It is super exciting to be competing against teams from all over the country right here in our city. Remember to show great sportsmanship (cheerleaders AND parents), and hospitality so teams want to return to KC for future competitions.

Uniform/Apparel

Teams should be dressed in red jersey and black pants or warm ups when not in uniform. Remember that you must always have your tank top or warm up jacket on to cover your midriff if you are not in the practice room or performing. Everyone will wear the red bow.

Schedule

Listed below are the times to be dressed and ready to meet your coaches. It is very important that everyone is dressed and entirely ready at the times listed below.

EVENT DETAILS

Plan your day wisely! It always takes longer than anticipated to park downtown in Kansas City. Cheerleaders must be present for the performances of all KC Cheer teams that they are scheduled to be there for. Remember that you like to have a crowd cheering you on when you perform, so be sure you are doing that for the rest of our gym! KC Cheer takes pride in our crowd support, so be sure you are part of the FAMILY and cheer on all our teams!

NCA Junior & Senior Teams

Below is the information for Junior and Senior teams at NCA (everyone except Frost). Please be aware of the Master KC Cheer Schedule for all performance times.

Friday, February 23

TRAVELING

• All athletes are required to ride the bus to Dallas. The buses will leave from the Blue Valley Recreation Baseball complex located at 137th street between Switzer and Antioch in Overland Park (same as Jamfest). The parking lot is on the south side of 137th street and closest to Antioch.  Please be on the bus by 6:45 a.m. so we can leave promptly at 7:00 a.m.

•  The bus will only be stopping for cheerleaders to get off for food and drinks one time, so please make sure your cheerleader has snacks and drinks for the entire 9 hour trip, as well as money for lunch when we stop. We will also be making a few "stretch" stops for the drivers, but cheerleaders will not be allowed off the bus during these stops.

• When we arrive in Dallas, cheerleaders should take their luggage to their rooms and get ready for a quick team meeting to discuss the next day. Coaches will let team moms know of the time once we get to Dallas. Athletes should be in bed no later than 10:00 p.m., as we have an early day on Saturday.

Day 1 Attire (Gray Tank, White Bow)

We will let each team know their time on Friday night. They don’t have to be dressed and ready at this time, but we will not be returning to the hotel. Teams should have everything they need to get ready with them.
