It will be watched by around 25,000 spectators from April 10-13, 2024.
It is organized by Varsity Spirit – a division of Varsity Brands and a leader in cheerleading, dance team and band apparel, camps, competitions, and yearbooks
This is the 28th year that the competition has been staged at the Daytona Beach Bandshell and the Ocean Center where a record turnout of teams is expected.
The event relocated to Daytona Beach in 1996.
Teams will also be using 35 hotel partners in the area.
“We’re thrilled to once again bring our NCA & NDA Collegiate Championship to the shores of Daytona Beach. This highly anticipated event continues to see growth year after year,” said Bill Boggs, SVP and Director of College Programs for NCA & NDA.
“Daytona Beach continues to be the ultimate destination for our NCA & NDA college customers.”
Included in the event schedule will be a Saturday night celebration party sponsored by the City of Daytona Beach at the Ocean Center.
It will feature a DJ, laser light show and various games and activities.
In between their competition, participants, and their coaching staff, family and supporters will be able to enjoy all the Daytona Beach attractions.
“The Daytona Beach area’s beachside will once again provide a stunning backdrop for the Championship,” said Lori Campbell Baker, Executive Director for the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
