The race for the 2026 West Coast Cup was back on this season for Season 3 for cheer teams, plus the brand new edition of the West Coast Cup race for dance teams! The West Coast Cup is a prestigious honor following all star cheer & dance teams' journey at select West Coast events. To earn the honor of being named a West Coast Cup champion, cheer teams must earn first place at three events: The American Grand - Grand Nationals in Las Vegas, NV, Spirit Sports Grand Nationals in Palm Springs, CA, and the USA All Star Cheer Super Nationals in Anaheim, CA. On the dance side, teams must earn first place at the GSSA Grand Nationals in Bakersfield, CA, Spirit Sports Grand Nationals in Palm Springs, CA, and the USA All Star Dance Super Nationals in Anaheim, CA. 

To celebrate each team's hard work & success, each cheer West Coast Cup champion will be honored at USA All Star Super Nationals with a team banner and individual medals. Dance teams will also be honored with a team banner and individual sashes. 

On the cheer side of things, teams who earn first place at these three events also have a great opportunity to jump ahead in the standings for the Varsity Cheer League by earning significant points! Here is the points breakdown:
