UCA Game Time Championships
Now it's easy to turn your sideline skills into competition material at the Universal Cheerleaders Association Game Time Championship. These championships are stress free and a great value. Your squad will be able to step off the sidelines and into the competition.
The Game Time Championships were created to showcase what traditional cheerleading is all about - leading the crowd! The championship gives teams who traditionally don't compete a chance to show how they rule the field and lead the crowds at their schools!
