The annual Pop Warner National Cheer and Dance Championships are set to take place this December in Orlando. 

Each year, Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. hosts their National Cheer and Dance Championships in tandem with their Pop Warner Super Bowl. This year's cheer and dance competition will feature over 550 teams from across the nation, varying in age and style. 

To make it to Orlando, cheer and dance teams must perform a two-minute, 30-second routine in front of a judging panel. To qualify for the Championships, squads need to place either first or second in both their local league and regional competitions. 

Here's everything you need to know about the 2024 Pop Warner Cheer and Dance Nationals, including schedule and live stream options for all the action.
