Ranging from tumbling to stunting to inventive solo routines, The Nation's Best was designed for competitive athletes who want to stand out and push their own boundaries. There's a division for every athlete.
Individual Routine
Solo spotlight. Step onto the mat to showcase your individual all-around skills in tumbling, jumps, and dance.
Tumble Routine
Think synchronized swimming but with a twist. Partnered tumbling but every pass, transition, and motion is done in unison.
Stunt Routine
Perform gravity-defying moments with a variety of difficult, precisely executed skills to truly set you apart from the competition.
Group Routine
Command the floor with a squad of five performing a show stopping routine that includes all elements - except a pyramid.
