Welcome back Alabama Coaches and Teachers! I hope you all had a wonderful summer break and are ready to get started with another great year with your squad! We have lots of opportunities for both you and your teams continuing throughout the school year, so please continue to remember UCA as your “one stop shop” for your cheerleading needs!

UCA is bringing the Game Time Championship Series BACK! The Game Time Championship was created to showcase what cheerleading is really all about—leading the crowd!

At only $10 per participant a category enter your team in one or all three of the different categories: sideline cheerleading, fight song, or time out dance!
