University of Delaware Athletics
Delaware Summer Youth Cheer & Dance Camps
The Delaware Cheer Summer Youth Cheer & Dance Camp is intended to teach young cheerleaders/dancers or young children interested in cheerleading/dancing the basic foundations of our sports; motions, jumps, limited stunts and a mini routine to perform on the final day of the clinic.
We will offer skill instruction based on progression and advise all participants to move in progression based on their individual skill level. We will be teaching skills and material geared toward traditional sideline cheerleading and basic dances with a focus on the college game day style.
All participants will work with and be under the instruction of the University of Delaware Cheer & Dance Team coaching staffs and team members. Our format will divide all participants into age groups promoting additional instruction from the team members and coaching staff.
Space is limited. Register early to guarantee your spot!
If you have any questions, please email Coach Kirby Lynch at cheer@udel.edu.
