Though both competitions have similar goals, teams across the country have made their preference in either UCA or NCA.

Depending on which cheerleader you ask, one will be stated as better than the other. On a surface level it’s easy to see that UCA can be the more traditional side of cheerleading mainly focusing on stunts and cheers and NCA can be more of the all-star side of cheerleading with more focus on dancing and high energy pyramids.

What’s more important, leading the crowd in a cheer or making stunts more challenging or entertaining for the cheerleader?

Every cheerleader will give you a different answer to that question, but this concept is what makes the difference in UCA and NCA.

So when it comes to the annual Nationals competitions hosted by each organization it’s definitely interesting to see what teams will come up with.

This weekend starts the Nationals Championship competition for NCA.

College cheerleaders from all over the country are traveling to Daytona, Florida for a weekend of competing, bonding and hopefully achieving a national championship title.

This is a chance for these college teams to come together and show everyone what they’ve been working towards all season. Some teams come just to have fun and others come striving to win for place.

Though there is some healthy competition, the main purpose of NCA Nationals is to bring together cheerleaders from everywhere and learn from what other teams have put together.

Since the sport of cheerleading is always growing and changing, competitions are where everyone gets to see just have creative and innovative their competitors can be.

Without competition cheerleading wouldn’t be where it is today!

For NCA and UCA, there are a lucky group of experienced cheerleaders who get to travel throughout their home state and teach cheerleading to younger squads.

Being a member of staff allows those cheerleaders who have been doing the sport for many years to share their knowledge with others.

Members of staff work together to come up with new stunts to teach as well as learn various cheers and dances to teach to all of the campers throughout the summer.

As a member of NCA or UCA Staff these cheeerleaders are looked up to by middle school and high school cheerleaders throughout the country.

Cheerleaders don’t have professional athletes to look up to, we look up to our cheer camp instructors.

The National Cheerleading Association was created in 1948 in Texas. Being the sister company of UCA, NCA does many of the things as UCA.

Though NCA does most of the same things as UCA, the company has a style all its own that. The two companies have a healthy rivalry in gaining interest from schools for competitions and summer camps.
