Oak Flats took it up to the biggest and richest clubs in Australia with their haul of six gold medals and one silver medal, earning second place overall behind powerhouse Queensland club Robertson.
It was the first time NSW had hosted the prestigious titles which featured all states except Tasmania with the South Coast club leading the way for NSW.
Oak Flats' 24 acrobats competed in age groups from 9 years to 19 years with their Level 6 and International 11-16 Years groups combined taking out the Division B section of the championships.
Australian representatives, Maddison Lacey, Mikayla Stephens and Jessica Adams impressed the crowd with two fantastic routines to win the 11-16 years trio section.
The girls are in prime form after the confidence gained from finishing as first reserve for the finals at the World Championships in Paris last June.
The Oak Flats club's other national winners were Grace Fairall and Mykenna Collier (International 11-16 years pair); Jenna Irish, Sophie Edwards and Maja Moore (Level 6 trio); Kayla McCoskery, Kristy Hay and Molly Jewiss (Level 5 trio); Olivia Wilson and Alexis Edwards (Level 8 pair) and Taylah Doosey and Mikayla Carr, who won the Level 6 pair category.
Caitlin O'Neil, Millie Savage and Mikayla Gumm finished a fine third in Level 6 trio, with Tylah Hale, Ella Treanor and Abbey Mushet sixth in Level 4 trio.
In Level 5 trio, Tahlia Jennings, Alana Cairns and Charlotte Thompson were seventh.
The acrobats are now working hard preparing for the first NSW trials on February 14-15 for spots in the 2015 National Championships.
The acrobats have been placed into 10 groups and will train hard over summer in order to make the NSW team.
