The 1 Spirit concept is the culmination of the partnership between GSSA and JAMfest Events, LLC based out of Louisville, Kentucky.  GSSA’s President, Tammy Van Vleet will direct the GSSA 1 Spirit Championship Series.

GSSA 1 Spirit was created to serve as the competition segment for GSSA.  For 10 years, GSSA has run tremendous competitions and conferences on the West coast.  The tradition of running these high quality events will continue on an even bigger level with the introduction of this competition series.  The 1 Spirit Series allows GSSA and GSSA 1 Spirit to further grow their identities in the future. 

GSSA will continue to host one of the top rated spirit conferences in the world which is traditionally held on the first weekend in May.  GSSA will also remain a key contributor in furthering the educational growth for cheerleaders and dancers in California by awarding $10,000 in scholarships.

The ultimate goal of the GSSA 1 Spirit Series is to provide the spirit families on the West coast with top-notch events.  The core of these events will continue to focus on a fun, family-friendly environment that generates excitement within a program.

The new partnership with GSSA and JAMfest Events brings a new level of support to the GSSA 1 Spirit Championship Series which will allow us to provide better and stronger events year after year.
