They say practice makes perfect, and that axiom rang true for the hard-earned worlds bids this weekend at the 2017 WSF All Star Cheer & Dance Championship. 

Many teams made their competition debut in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday. Fifteen worlds-eligible teams at WSF also performed Friday at Cheer Alliance. Nearly half of those teams received a bid to The 2018 Cheerleading Worlds on Sunday.

Competing three times in one weekend is a unique challenge, but it is also a great opportunity for both coaches and athletes to put their routine and endurance to the test. 

The first performances of the weekend showcased a high level of difficulty. Not perfect routines, but you could see the exciting potential. 

Starting with a clean slate at WSF, teams took the mat with a renewed sense of confidence. And it showed — the timing and technique was on point for day one of the competition. 

Day two (or day three for the Alliance teams) is when the true resiliency and talent became more evident than ever. Polished performances took the mat to finish the weekend strong with a high level of execution.

All of this is a credit to the excellent coaching and the athletes who displayed impressive stamina and mental toughness. But who earned one of the 12 coveted Cheerleading Worlds bids up for grabs?
