All eyes now turn to the 2025 Encore Grand Nationals, where teams will take the stage in Houston, Texas! For some teams, this will be the first competition that will kick off their season. Teams have spent months refining choreography, building stamina, and tightening skills, making this first outing an important benchmark.  Not only is this an exciting time to take the stage for the first time, there is time to get an early lead in the Varsity Cheer League to get a 600 point kick start to their spot on the leader board. Take a look at some teams to keep an eye out for this weekend:
