Missouri State University has released its 2026 acrobatics and tumbling schedule, as announced by head coach Kimmy Adkins. The upcoming season will feature eight meets, with five scheduled to take place at Hammons Student Center in Springfield. This marks the program's second season of competition.
The Bears will begin their season at home on February 8 against Oregon. The following week, Missouri State will host a tri-meet on February 13, bringing Presbyterian and Augustana to Springfield. Their third consecutive home event will be on February 27, when La Salle visits.
After these home matches, Missouri State will travel to compete against Texas Lutheran on March 6 and Azusa Pacific on March 19. The regular season will finish in April, starting with an away meet at Augustana on April 4. The team will then return home for Senior Day against Morgan State on April 9, an event referred to as the annual Battle of the Bears.
The 2026 NCATA National Championships are scheduled for April 23–26 at the Felix Event Center in Azusa, California, with Azusa Pacific serving as the host.
"We're so excited for team two," said Adkins. "This team is so special! GO BEARS!"
Adkins will be entering her second season as head coach of the Missouri State acrobatics and tumbling program and her third year as a collegiate head coach.
