Competitors and their supporters are in for an amazing weekend in the Lone Star State, as The U.S. Finals: Galveston returns to the Moody Gardens Convention Center in Galveston, Texas, a familiar spot for cheer and dance events.

This is one of 10 events that will help put the finishing touches on another memorable season of competition and allows teams to finish things out close to home, if they choose. 

This is one of three U.S. Finals events scheduled for April 12. The others will be in Des Moines, Iowa; and Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The opening weekend of action on April 5 will see events take place in Tacoma, Washington; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Chicago.

Trenton, New Jersey; Worcester, Massachusetts; and Louisville, Kentucky; will host events on April 26, and the season finale will take place in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on May 3.

By breaking up the U.S. Finals into multiple one-day events across many locations, teams have the ability to choose the date and location that work best for them. 

Regardless of what they choose, Varsity TV will be there to provide live coverage of the event, and you won’t want to miss a minute of the action!
