Today is registration and practice day for the college cheerleaders and dancers who’ve made the trip to the east coast and what once was the Hilton and Ocean Center’s lawn is now one big practice mat for teams getting in their final reps.

Sunshine and practice time, it doesn’t get much better than this!

For some teams, the Ocean Center warm up room is home base for a final nationals practice before Prelims kick off tomorrow morning. Teams look solid, and sportsmanship is in the air as teams high-five and send well wished to fellow competitors.

Spectators and vacationers alike are a very familiar part of the scene as anyone who sees the teams warming up baskets and running though pyramids stops to watch in awe. College cheerleading is as elite as it gets, and Daytona is where it’s at.
