Lights, camera, castle! This weekend, thousands of cheerleaders will descend on Walt Disney World ®  Resort in Orlando, Florida to compete at 2016 UCA International All Star Cheerleading Championship.

This year’s competition is going to be tough– with The Summit, D2 Summit, and The Cheerleading Worlds bids and the Varsity All Star Triple Crown Championship at stake, teams are bringing their A-game to the mat.

What does that mean for this year’s competitors? That for those who go home with a first place win, victory is going to be sweeter than ever before. Here’s how it feels to win the UCA International All Star Championship:

1.) And second place goes to . . . As the announcer slowly goes through the top 10, your teammates grip your hands tighter and tighter. By the time they announce second place you can hardly keep it together. 

2.) Who! Me?! . . .Is this real? YES! You just heard your team’s name announced as the winner. 

3.) Pure excitement . . . YOU DID IT! Nothing feels better than jumping up and down with your team after a big win. 

4.) All the feels . . . Just seconds after the excitement hits, so do the tears. All the hard work and dedication has paid off. You made it. 

5.) Basking in the glow . . . The trophy is in your hands you can barely take your eyes off it as you smile at the millions of cameras snapping victory pics of your team

6.) Time to flaunt it . . . You hold your head high because you know for the rest of the weekend, YOU are the champions an no one can take that away from you.

7.) Rock the UCA Black Jacket . . . THIS is the true symbol of a champion. Rock your jacket with pride and confidence as you cheer on other teams.
