UCA PROGRAM INFORMATION

Our staff is looking forward to working with you at camp this summer. Listed below is general information

that will benefit you as you prepare for camp.

The UCA Program is designed to train cheerleaders to be their very best. Each class is professionally

conducted by top instructors. The overall emphasis of the program is on concentrated learning in a fun

and exciting environment.

Report to camp in good condition! Daily stretching exercises, practicing jumps, and aerobic conditioning

will help you avoid potential injuries and soreness. Start now to get in shape for camp!

Throughout the camp, your squad will learn a variety of cheers, sidelines, and dances. You will be privately

coached by a UCA instructor on 3 sidelines, a cheer and the Xtreme routine (a dance plus incorporation).

After each private coaching session, you will be evaluated on this material. These are low-pressure

evaluations designed to help you get your new material game-ready.

On the final day of camp, your squad has the option to participate in our Xtreme Routine Championships

and our Game Day Championships. All evaluations and the Camp Championships will be conducted

according to the safety rules and guidelines set forth by the American Association of Cheerleading

Coaches and Administrators (AACCA). You can view these safety guidelines at their website:

www.aacca.org. Please be sure to read these guidelines carefully. An instructor will be happy to answer

any questions you may have.

Daily awards will be presented for achievement, improvement and spirit. At the conclusion of camp, we

will present overall awards in several divisions for the entire week.

NOTE: There will be no evaluation of home cheers.

Optional Home Fight Song Evaluation

There will be a Home Fight Song Evaluation in which all interested squads may perform a traditional fight

song routine from home. This evaluation is strictly OPTIONAL and will occur on the first night of camp unless

there is a conflict with facilities.

Fight songs will be evaluated on content, motion technique, and performance. Up to (2) continuous eight

counts of the fight song may contain skills (stunts, tumbling and/or jumps). For a complete list of rules and

skill restrictions, go to uca.varsity.com/fightsong.aspx. If you plan to participate in the fight song evaluation,

you must bring your music on an Ipod or MP3 player.

Optional Home Dance Evaluation – *NEW – There will be NO placings this year, just evaluations!

There will be a Home Dance Evaluation in which all interested squads may perform a dance routine from

home. This evaluation is strictly OPTIONAL and will occur on the first night of camp unless there is a conflict

with facilities.

Routines will be evaluated on technique, originality, and crowd appeal. For school teams, partner stunts,

pyramids or tumbling are NOT permitted in the optional home dance evaluation. If you are attending a

specialty camp type, please check with your State Director as some rules are different!

The maximum length of a routine is one minute and fifteen seconds. If you plan to participate in the home

dance evaluation, you must bring your music on an IPOD or MP3 player.

NOTE: For All Star Teams, there will be an Optional Home Routine Evaluation on the first night of camp. For

the Home Routine Evaluation, partner stunts, pyramids and tumbling ARE permitted. The maximum length of

a routine is one minute.

UCA requests that there will be no videotaping during actual class instruction; however, you may

videotape private coaching, evaluation and other activities during the week.

*Make sure you also print off the “What to Bring to Camp” form so you and your team are fully prepared.

UCA ALL AMERICAN INFORMATION

Each cheer squad attending UCA camp can nominate squad members to compete

for the honor of being named “UCA All American”. All seniors are eligible to tryout. If

there are no seniors, then a maximum of six squad members may be nominated to

tryout. Junior High and Junior Varsity teams may nominate up to six team members to

try out.

Selection Process

Each candidate will perform the Xtreme dance routine, a camp cheer and a jump. All

American tryouts are usually held the third day of camp. The head instructor will let you

know the exact time and location of the All American tryout. Candidates will tryout in

groups of three or more.

Sophomore, Junior and Senior All Americans will have the opportunity to perform in the

London Parade, New Year’s Day before one million spectators lining the parade route.

The travel dates are December 26, 2014 – January 2, 2015. The UCA staff chaperones

the All Americans to ensure their safety and fun! Sophomore, Junior and Senior All

Americans are also eligible to attend the Thanksgiving Events as well, based on the

state in which they attend camp. If you have any questions, please contact Mike Fultz

at [email protected].

Junior High and Junior Varsity All Americans will have the opportunity to perform in the

Houston Thanksgiving Day Parade, Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade or the UCA

Thanksgiving Tour at the Walt Disney World Resort based on the state in which they

attend camp. The dates are November 25-28, 2014. For questions please contact
