Welcome back Mississippi 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! 

Remember, I am here to help you. As a former teacher and coach, I know how busy you are with teaching and coaching, so I want to make your job as a Cheerleading Coach as EASY as possible! 

Please feel free to call me with any of your questions or concerns. Together with UCA’s help, your team can be on their way to accomplishing all the goals you have for them! 

I wish you the best Fall Semester!!
