Common questions from team parents
Host hotel inventory for Spirit Nationals Cheer Competition sells out fast — we recommend reserving as soon as your team's roster is confirmed. You can always cancel free up to the deadline shown on your booking.
If the tournament moves a session, just text our parent support line. We'll shift your hotel dates within the same booking — no rebooking, no second card charge.
It depends on the property and rate you pick. Each hotel card lists exactly what's included on its rate, and our concierge can confirm any add-ons before you check in.
Checkout is processed by Stripe — the same secure system used by Apple, Lyft, and Shopify. You'll see a charge from AthleticsQ on behalf of the hotel. Your card is never stored on our servers.
Absolutely. Add as many rooms as you need in one booking, then forward the confirmation. Need to split the bill across families? Reply to your confirmation email and we'll set up shared payment.
Every booking gets a 24/7 parent support number. We're staffed by real humans every day of the event — late check-ins, room swaps, lost keys, anything.
