Sideline Management Camp

How have your first couple of football games gone?

Is your crowd involved?

Do your cheerleaders understand how to interact with your fans?
Do your fans yell with you?
Does your school take the cheerleaders seriously?

If you answered NO to any of those questions, UCA help! Here's how:

UCA will secretly send a staffer to your Friday night game to spy on your team! Then, on Saturday morning your cheerleaders will attend a one day camp where the staffer will reveal that they watched the whole game the night before! Our trained college staff will kick it into high gear to get your team prepared for your next football game! Here are just a few things your team will learn:

Kick Off!
Red Zones!
Touchdown!
How to use signs!
How to incorporate crowd effective stunts!
How to get your crowd involved!

*Pricing will vary depending on the location of your school due to the availability of our staff in the fall.
