SIXTEEN YEARS OF NATIONALS at UNIVERSAL ORLANDO
Unlike many new events that pop up each year, you'll ever have to wonder if the US Spirit Nationals will be canceled, have a date change or only have a few teams in attendance. 2012 will be the 16th Anniversary of the US Spirit Nationals at Universal Orlando. We actually have to turn teams away many years as the team entries are limited to assure a quality experience.

AWE-INSPIRING VENUE
Teams compete in an incredible and truly unique venue. Unlike a windowless concrete hall with nothing else to see or do, Universal Orlando provides the best of all worlds! An open-air, completely covered venue that is within the incredible Universal theme parks and within steps or world class attractions, rides and restaurants.

INCREDIBLE WARM-UP AREA
We make sure to provide every team with a warm-up area that includes stretching mats, spring tumble tracks and a full spring warm-up floor identical to the competition floor. The full floor also has a sound system. Every team is provided time in each area of the warm-up area. US Spirit Staff is present at every station and provides on-going time announcements so you know how much time remains in each station.

PROFESSIONAL PARTNERS

US Spirit is the ONLY event that takes place inside the parks at Universal Orlando.
