The Real Reason Trinity Valley Refused The Offer To Be In Cheer Season 1

For many viewers, Navarro College's storyline was something they were incredibly invested in, especially in their training for Daytona. The Guardian reports that it's easy to become invested in this journey alongside the team. The coaches and the cheerleaders constantly boast about coming in "first" at Daytona and are working to add another trophy and title to their list. 

What fans of the show didn't know until much later is that Navarro is one of two colleges that compete against each other at Daytona. The show leaves out this important detail to viewers throughout the series in Season 1. The first season only followed Monica's team and Navarro College, and did not interview or follow any other teams. However, in Season 2, when "Cheer" returned, a new team was in the mix. 

Season 2 brought, not only a follow up to Navarro College's cheerleading team with new headliners and backstories, but also brought us into the world of Trinity Valley's cheerleading team—along with their head coach, Vontae Johnson. As it turns out, Trinity Valley is an incredibly important story in the "Cheer" world and universe because they are the only team that Navarro competes against when they compete at Dayona every year. This is because, according to Slate, both Navarro and Trinity Valley are the only Advanced Large Co-Ed teams at Daytona.
