Registration Open For MU Cheer Skills Clinic
6/21/2016 12:00:00 AM | Cheerleading
It is that time of year again. We are now beginning the process of registration for the MU Cheer Skills Clinic. I am extremely excited as this is going to be a great opportunity for middle and high school cheerleaders to get instruction from the current Marshall Cheerleaders and Coaches. The clinic will include technique instruction on stunts, jumps, pyramids, motions, game day cheer, and more.
There will also be opportunities to win awards and certificates as well. We will have a Top Stunt Competition, Top Jump Competition, and Top Dance Competition.
We are encouraging cheerleaders to come as a team or with a stunt group. However, all cheerleaders are welcome. We will not be combining individual cheerleaders to make stunt groups or pyramid groups. During those classes, cheerleaders that come as individuals will get more time in any other class they choose.
*Who: This clinic is for middle school and high school students: teams, stunt groups, and individuals are welcome. Coaches are welcome and encouraged to come as well. There is no fee for a coach that would like to attend.
*Where: Chris Cline Indoor Athlete Facility (IAF). The building is located on the 2000 block of 3rd Ave Huntington, WV 25755. It is basically located directly (east) beside Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The entrance to the IAF is on the (north) 3rd ave side of the building. Signs will be out to help direct participants into the building. If you can find Marshall's Football Stadium then walk on the side walk east on the 3rd avenue side of the stadium.
*When: June 30-July 1 (9-12 am and 2-5 pm both days).
*Registration Fee: $55.00 per athlete. Teams of 12 or more that register by June 1 will receive a 15% discount. The registration fee includes a clinic tshirt and 12 hours of instruction from the Marshall Cheerleaders and coaches.
If you have ANY questions, the head coach, Jake Gilliam at gilliam17@marshall.edu. You can also contact assistant coach, Candice Gilliam, at michael24@marshall.edu or 304-690-5909. If I don't answer, leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. You can also text questions to that number.
I look forward to hearing back from you. We are also excited to build a relationship with the cheer coaches in our area. We would appreciate it if you would spread the word about the clinic to other coaches in your area that I may not have an email address.
