The United States Twirling Association (USTA) has partnered with Rebel Athletic to be the official athletic wear supplier of Team U.S.A. and the U.S. Trials and PreTrials programs. USTA is the nation's premier sport baton twirling organization and the U.S. representative of the International Baton Twirling Federation (IBTF). Rebel Athletic supports athletes and sports programs around the world through custom designs, performance gear, and luxury fashion. As the official athletic wear supplier of Team U.S.A., Rebel Athletic will provide warm ups, practice wear, and team bags to 2026 Team U.S.A. members, the athletes who will represent the U.S. in the 2026 World Freestyle and Rhythmic Twirl Championship in Paris, France. In addition, Rebel Athletic is the new supplier of leotards and warmups for athletes participating in the U.S. PreTrials program and the members of the 2027 Team U.S. A. Those athletes will be selected at the 2026 IBTF Qualifier to represent the U.S. in the 2027 World Majorette Championship, World Technical Baton Twirling Championship, and Nations Cup competition, which will be held in Liverpool, England. "USTA is proud to have Rebel Athletic as the official athletic wear supplier of Team U.S.A. and the U.S. Trials and PreTrials programs," said Sandi Rios, USTA Director of Operations. "Rebel designed new leotards and warmups based on feedback from athletes, parents, and coaches, to provide great fit, comfort, and a professional athletic look." Information about ordering the new leotards and warmups will be available soon. Please note: * 2026 U.S. Trials athletes do NOT have to have the new warmups. They can wear a warmup of their choice. * 2026 U.S. PreTrials athletes can wear either the new or the current leotards and warmups for the 2026 season. Rebel Athletic also works directly with individual athletes, parents, and coaches, as well as clubs and studios, to design and produce custom costumes and practice wear that is high quality and long lasting.
