The Alcorn State University Spirit Team, consisting of cheerleaders and male tumblers, attended UCA/UDA Collegiate Camp at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL. The 4-day collegiate camp hosted cheer and dance teams from across the United States and Japan.
The UCA & UDA College Spirit Camps are nationally recognized, providing instruction and choreography from the most respected instructional cheerleading and dance staff in the country. While at camp the Braves' Cheerleaders learned new and creative AACCA approved partner stunts and pyramids for fan enjoyment! The UCA/UDA College Spirit Camps provided positive fan behavior standards and good sportsmanship practices for Game Day, as well as safe, crowd oriented material, all with an emphasis on leading the Braves Crowds. We also developed team-based instructions and class environments to help build your new cheerleading team.
