The Women’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (WNCAA) is the only all-women’s collegiate league in the country and the only athletic league with a tri-level division: Midgets, Juniors and Seniors division.

For the upcoming competition there would be two divisions—the Juniors and Seniors divisions. Last season’s competition which happened in Chiang Kai Shek College stadium, St. Paul College Pasig were hailed champions in the Juniors Division and University of Asia and the Pacific in the Senior’s Division.

The WNCAA Cheerleading Competition not only highlights each team’s prowess in stunts, pyramids and techniques, but the competition is also a celebration of each member school’s distinct culture, traditions and school colors. And perhaps as a new WNCAA tradition, member schools get to showcase their school’s unique cheers as a halftime intermission.
