FT. WORTH, TEXAS
JANUARY 22nd - 24th, 2010

  • $5,000 In Cash Awards Up For Grabs This Year!!
  • Back at the Ft. Worth Convention Center 
  • One-Day Small Gym National within the Two-Day National

Cheer and dance teams from across the country will descend upon Ft. Worth like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid did so many years ago.  This historic city offers a vibrant mix of restaurants, shopping, theater, arts, movies and more, all centrally located within a 10-minute walk of the competition site. Compare The Showdown to other Nationals in Texas, and we know you'll come to the same conclusion we did...Ft. Worth really has everything you could want!

GETTING HERE
Ft. Worth is only 17.5 miles from Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW.)  This busy airport connects non-stop to over 170 cities worldwide and services more than 2,000 flights a day - and   convenient airport shuttles service most downtown Ft. Worth hotels.

COMPETITION FACILITY
We are thrilled to be back at the Ft. Worth Convention Center! This newly expanded facility is the perfect venue for a cheer and dance competition. It features over 30,000 square feet for practice, a 26,000-square-foot arena and 14,000 upholstered chair back seats. There's not a bad seat in the house!


COMPETITION AMENITIES
Upon arriving at the convention center, your first stop will be Championship Check-In, where your Championship Ambassador will provide you with event credentials, final paperwork and answer any questions you may have. Then, one hour before your performance time, you'll be directed to the spacious Warm-Up Area, where you'll be granted access to a stretching station, a 70-foot spring tumble strip and a full-size floor for practice. Next, you'll take center stage in the Performance Hall, which will feature an elevated performance stage or elevated spectator seating, state-of-the-art production elements and digitally-integrated sound so you can rock the house! Finally, after exiting the stage, your team will be personally escorted to a Private Replay Booth, where they can view their award-winning routine and receive thier National Championship commemorative gifts.

EXCITING PRODUCTION LEVEL
At every American Championships Event, we combine the elements of light, sound and non-stop action to create a fantastic competition atmosphere.  Our computer-integrated digital sound fills the arena while our exciting light show keeps the action moving between teams.  Event staff members throw out thousands of sets of Mardi Gras beads while streamer cannons explode during our Awards Ceremonies.  We roll out the red carpet - literally - when your teams come forward to accept what are considered by most to be the largest and nicest trophies in the industry.  At the American Championships we produce only high energy, exciting events!

OLYMPIC-STYLE AWARD STAGES
At our events, we bring the top 3 teams onto large platforms to celebrate and shine in the spotlight.  This gives teams a chance to enjoy their accomplishment and for parents to step forward and take pictures of their winning team!
