💥 HOME FROM UCA CAMP & READY FOR AN INCREDIBLE SEASON! ❤️🖤
What an unforgettable week at UCA Cheer Camp! While we certainly improved our cheerleading skills, we came home with so much more than new routines. Our athletes participated in leadership classes, game day preparation, crowd engagement activities, team-building exercises, school tradition workshops, and stunt training designed to build stronger, more confident athletes. Our seniors even had the opportunity to explore collegiate cheerleading opportunities by speaking with college representatives.
Most importantly, our cheerleaders represented Chopticon with pride, respect, and sportsmanship every single day. We were repeatedly complimented by UCA instructors and fellow teams on our teamwork, positivity, kindness, and the way we encouraged not only one another, but athletes from schools across the country. We couldn’t be more proud of the young women representing Chopticon.
🏆 Our accomplishments this week include:
🍌 Earning the famous UCA Banana, a tradition recognizing teams that bring unmatched energy, positivity, and encouragement throughout camp.
📣 Winning a UCA Spirit Stick, awarded to teams that exemplify enthusiasm, teamwork, sportsmanship, and outstanding school spirit.
📍 Pin It Forward Award
Congratulations to Hailey Griffith and Mia Hernandez, who were selected as two of only four athletes at camp to receive this prestigious award recognizing kindness, leadership, and encouragement toward everyone around them.
⭐ UCA All-Americans
Congratulations to Mia Hernandez, Lillian Butler, Kenley Culbert, and Dakota Browne on earning UCA All-American honors! This prestigious recognition required each athlete to perform individually before a panel of judges. They have now been invited to participate in exclusive cheerleading events alongside athletes from around the world.
We are returning home inspired, motivated, and full of new ideas to elevate school spirit, strengthen our community involvement, and create an unforgettable game day atmosphere for Chopticon this year.
Thank you to everyone who supported us and made this experience possible. We can’t wait to bring everything we learned back home.
❤️🖤 GO BRAVES! 🖤❤️
