The American Championships calendar for 2025 continues with a stop in Utah for the 2025 The American Celebration Salt Lake City Nationals.

The event will take place Feb. 21-22 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City, and Varsity TV will be there to provide live coverage of all the action. 

American Championship Events center around the quality of the production and venue transformation (extensive warm-up areas, double-wide tumbling strips), along with the spectator experience and judging system and Olympic-style awards. 

The events have been built based on suggestions from coaches, too.

Enjoy complete coverage of the event, as standout teams from Division I and Division II go head-to-head with their sights set on obtaining points to The Varsity Cheer League by Varsity All Star and a bid to one of the prestigious end-of-season championships!

What To Know About The Salt Lake City Convention Center

The American Celebration Salt Lake City Nationals visits the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City again in 2025.

The history of the venue began in 1899, but the original Salt Palace was destroyed by a fire in 1910.

It took until 1969 for the next iteration of the venue, which was home to professional sports teams and hosted a variety of events. Unfortunately, this version of the facility had a short life, too, and it was demolished to make room for a new convention center that opened its doors in 1996.

The property now spans more than 1 million square feet, thanks to expansions in 2000 and 2005, and is considered an architectural showpiece. 

Check out the Salt Palace’s floor plan, and take a virtual tour.

Within the convention space is the Visit Salt Lake offices, the Visit Salt Lake Visitors’ Center, a gift shop and other administrative offices, while the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and Abravanel Hall (home of the Utah Symphony) are next door.

The League by Varsity All Star

Team rankings are determined by the points system displayed here. At each Varsity All Star event your team competes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value.

In total, 128 winners will be recognized from first to third place across each region. 

One champion will be crowned in each of the five regions across the eight eligible divisions and two League 6 conferences, meaning 42 championships will be awarded in total. Champions will win cash and prizes!
