About Universal Cheerleaders Association

In 1974, Jeff Webb founded Universal Cheerleaders Association to provide the best educational training for cheerleaders with the goal of incorporating high level skills with traditional crowd leading. It was Jeff’s vision that would transform cheerleading into the dynamic, athletic combination of high energy entertainment and school leadership that is loved by so many.

Today, UCA is the largest cheerleading camp company in the world. UCA trains over 180,000 cheerleaders every summer at over 3,200 sessions across the country, offering the widest array of dates and locations of any camp company. We also celebrate cheerleader’s incredible hard work and athleticism through the glory of competition at over 50 regional events across the country and our Championships at the Walt Disney World Resort® every year.

UCA has instilled leadership skills and personal confidence in more than four million athletes on and off the field while continuing to be the industry’s leader for more than forty-five years.

Because of UCA

“Because of UCA, I am who I am today.” Join us at a camp, competition or special event and let the UCA Staff bring out the super #SpiritPower in you.
