That's a wrap for the 2022 NCA & NDA Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship

During our time in Daytona Beach, more than 470 zero deduction routines were performed and 58 teams claimed NCA & NDA National Championship titles.

While the cheerleaders, dancers, and mascots might have been the stars of the competition, the passion these coaches have for their athletes is something that doesn’t go unnoticed and every once in a while, the Varsity TV cameras turn from the stage to catch a glimpse of the team behind the team.

As we return home from the Sunshine State, let’s take a look at some of our favorite coach photos from the 2022 NCA & NDA Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship.
