2025 - 2026 NDCCA State Championships

Welcome to the NDCCA Cheerleading Competition. This competition was started by the NDCCA with the hope of giving North Dakota cheerleaders a place to showcase their abilities and to perform in front of a crowd assembled specifically for them. Cheerleaders give so much of themselves to their school, team, and community that the NDCCA wanted to provide a forum where CHEERLEADERS would be the focus of the attention and appreciated for all the hard work they have done throughout their cheering season.

Part of the NDCCA’s philosophy is to provide support and education for high school cheerleaders. The competition is meant to serve as a “classroom”, where cheerleaders and coaches can watch other teams from North Dakota to grow and learn. The competition has definitely reached its goal and has seen dramatic growth and evolvement since its formation. Congratulations to all the competitors at the competition, for a job well done. NDCCA is excited to watch and learn from your team at this competition. Good luck!
