Dear World Organizations:

Enclosed please find the information packet for the 2011 International Cheer Union World Cheerleading Championships (for National Teams) to be held Thursday-Friday 28-29 April at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida USA.

Over 70 nations from all continents around the world have indicated their intention to participate in this year's World Championship; we anticipate nearly 180 National Team performances during the National Team World Championship event!

The ICU World Championship will, of course, include the ICU Opening Ceremony for the participating 70+ Nations, the ICU Partner Stunt World Championship, ICU VIP Reception/Athlete Cultural Exchange on Thursday 28 April, as well as the ICU Team World Championship on Friday 29 April 2011 concluding with medal presentation and the ICU World Championship closing ceremony.

Once again, immediately following the ICU World Championship, the IASF Club World Cheerleading Championship begins (for world club and school teams) and operates Saturday & Sunday on 30 April - 1 May 2011 also at the Walt Disney World Resort. For the IASF Club World Championship, we again anticipate over 17,000 athletes, 600 of the world's top club/school teams, and over 70 nations participating in the world's largest international cheerleading weekend.

More details to follow; however, enclosed is the information packet for the 2011 International Cheer Union World Cheerleading Championships as a reference. Please email with any questions, and we'll send more detailed information over the coming weeks.

Thank you again for your support of the ICU and the IASF!
