MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2020 National High School Cheerleading Championship and National Dance Team Championship took place the past two weekends, celebrating more than 25,000 of the country's top high school cheerleaders and dancers. The events, produced by the Universal Cheerleaders Association and Universal Dance Association, both Varsity Spirit brands, celebrated the power of school spirit, community, athleticism and talent, and took place at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida.

"It is indeed an honor to highlight these amazing student-athletes at this championship," said Bill Seely, President of Varsity Spirit. "They spend over 90% of their time focused on building strong school spirit in their schools, and this is an opportunity to highlight the invaluable contributions they make in their communities as well as their remarkable athleticism."

The two events showcased 25,000 athletes across 1,270 teams from 36 different states. Internationally, 62 teams from 12 countries also competed. Cheerleading teams are judged on their crowd leading abilities, stunting and tumbling skills and overall performance. The dance competition is judged on choreography, technique, execution and overall effect. All teams competing in the championships had to qualify at a regional event or camp in order to participate.

New this year was the Game Day Live Division, which allows a high school's cheerleaders and pep band to perform together to recreate the excitement of a true game day atmosphere.

Varsity Spirit live-streamed both championships on Varsity TV, a website dedicated to exclusive live coverage and video libraries of Varsity Spirit cheer and dance competitions. The championships will air on ESPNU and ESPN2, beginning in late March. Viewers can check their local listings for air times.
