A mighty day of strength to you! 

      Thank you to everyone who has registered so far, it looks like the 2025 USAWA Nationals is going to be an exciting and memorable National Championship! Please check to list below for the current roster.            

1. We are less than 2 months away from the 2025 USAWA Nationals and the ROOM BLOCK will be closing soon! If you do not reserve a room before JUNE 8TH, you may not be able to get one. The price will change after the room block is released. Please use the information provided to reserve your room today.

HOTEL – BAYMONT INN  phone #(606) 387-7238. You must call the Baymont Inn to receive the group rate. You will not receive the group rate if you book online through a third party.

Group code is USAWA

The Baymont Inn has a block of 20 rooms for the USAWA for 139 dollars per night plus tax, more rooms can be added if necessary. 

You must call the Baymont Inn to make a reservation with the group code. This is peak season for Lake Cumberland and Dale Hollow Lake, meaning the rooms will only be held until JUNE 8TH! After June 8, the group code will no longer be available.
