Introducing The NEW Spirit Program Division At NCA!

Share This Post

We've got exciting news! NCA and NDA have introduced a NEW division being implemented at the NCA Senior and Junior High School National Championship. For the first time, teams will have the opportunity to compete in the Spirit Program division!

"Our goal is to provide a unique and exciting opportunity for school Spirit Programs to work together to showcase their ability to promote school spirit and excitement in support of their school."

The Spirit Program division is all about unifying the different teams within a school to create the ultimate game day experience. This division not only allows the use of traditional sideline cheer and dance teams but also the incorporation of members of the school Marching Band, Pep Band, Drum Line, Mascot(s), Spirit Group/Club, etc. 

The primary responsibility of Spirit Programs is to develop and implement effective methods of generating excitement and often requires close coordination between various campus groups.

Each performance in the Spirit Program division must consist of a Crowd Leading section, a Band Chant section and a Fight Song section. 

This weekend there are four teams taking on the new Spirit Program division: Forney High School, Kittatinny Regional High School, Lampasas High School, Louisburg High School.

It all takes place Saturday in the Arena starting at 5:12 PM CT. Be sure to tune in to Varsity TV to watch history in the making and to cheer on these spirit teams!

Will your school take part in the new Spirit Program divisions this year? We can't wait to see you bring your school's game day style to the competition mat!
