(Clarksdale, Mississippi) – The Coahoma Community College (CCC) cheerleading squad is set to participate in the renowned Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) College Cheer and Dance Camp held at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This four-day intensive training program will take place from July 18-21, 2024 on the University of Alabama campus.
The UCA camp, exclusively for college teams, combines cheer and dance sessions along with a specialized Mascot Program. It is widely recognized as one of the premier cheerleading instruction and development programs in the nation.
CCC’s cheerleaders will have the opportunity to learn from top-tier coaches and instructors, enhancing their skills in stunting, tumbling, dance, and overall performance. It also offers a unique opportunity for CCC cheerleaders to learn exclusive new college sideline, timeout, and performance material tailored for their team.
“We’re thrilled to provide our cheerleaders with this invaluable experience,” said Carolyn Hunter, Coahoma Community College’s Cheer Coach. “The UCA camp at the University of Alabama will expose our squad to advanced techniques and allow them to network with peers from across the country.”
A key highlight of the camp is the Game Day training and evaluations, where teams will focus on situational game reactions, timeout routines, performance routines, and fight song execution. This comprehensive approach ensures that CCC cheerleaders will be well-prepared for the excitement and demands of game day performances.
The camp will focus on team building, leadership development, and perfecting routines for the upcoming academic year. CCC cheerleaders will also compete against other college squads, showcasing their talents and representing their institution on a larger stage.
This opportunity aligns with Coahoma Community College’s commitment to providing students with exceptional extracurricular experiences that complement their academic pursuits.
It’s important to note that the UCA Camp is solely operated by Varsity Spirit, LLC, and is not affiliated with The Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama or The University of Alabama itself.
