Welcome to the 48th Annual Lakota Nation Cheerleading Championship!

Dear Coaches,

It is with great excitement that we welcome you and your teams to the 48th Annual Lakota Nation Cheerleading Championship! We are thrilled to have you join us for this incredible event.

Upon completing your team registration, I will reach out via email with a link for our Coaches’ Meeting, which will be held virtually on December 2, 2025. During this meeting, I will share all important updates, including the pre-competition choreography video and music for the Pre-Competition Dance. This special performance will take place before we kick off the main competition on Saturday, December 20th in the Summit Arena at the Rapid City Monument, beginning at 11:00 a.m. sharp.

Please make sure to download and thoroughly review your Coaches’ Packet, which contains all the critical information you’ll need for this year’s LNI event. During the Coaches’ Meeting, we will also finalize the competition line-up for the Cheer Dance Competition, and you will have the chance to address any questions you may have as we prepare for the big day.

I have also included a handy checklist in the Coaches’ Packet to help you keep track of key dates and deadlines. Should any questions arise before the Coaches’ Meeting, feel free to reach out to me at any time. I am here to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for you and your teams.

I’m looking forward to an exciting and memorable championship, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing talent that will be showcased this year!
