NHSCC & NDTC

The National High School Cheerleading Championship and National Dance Team Championship are hallmark events for  junior high and high school team across the nation. These end-of-season championships are end-game for some of the most elite programs in the country and are televised on ESPN for months following the event.

Direct partnership with the Walt Disney World Resort draws around 23,000 participants for cheer and 5,400 participants for dance. With those participants come their parents and families who often take this event as an opportunity for a vacation, spending multiple days on-property. NDTC attracts approximately 7,500 spectators while NHSCC brings in approximately 30,000. Collectively, these two events are the largest events for school dance and cheer with even more spectators tuning in from home through Varsity TV.

Both events take place at the beautiful and expansive ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex – where up to six venues can run simultaneously – over the span of three action-packed days. When athletes aren’t practicing or competing with their own teams, you can often find them in the other venues catching all the action or out in the green-spaces where food trucks and vendors just like you line the grass.
