HCU Cheer College Clinic

Cheerleaders form a pyramid stunt on the HCU campus football field beneath a clear blue sky.HCU Cheer clinics are optional but highly recommended as the best way to prepare for tryouts. These clinics provide a valuable opportunity to train and engage with the coaches and current cheer members. During these sessions, you’ll learn various technical elements and spirit raising techniques directly from our coaches and cheer members, offering a firsthand understanding of collegiate cheerleading and our tryout process. All clinics are for high school and college students (including transfers) offering group and partner stunting with our team.
