UCA Rep Toolbox

UCA Toolbox – for Reps & State Directors!

Check out the resources below for everything you need about UCA and Summer 2026.

UCA Camp Types

Summer 2026 Theme

  • The summer camp theme for 2026 is GAME TIME!
    • This summer, it’s GAME TIME with UCA! Athletes will train with passion, purpose and heart, building confidence and teamwork every day.
  • Dress up Details: For Spirit Night, dress to represent the sports or clubs your team supports as ambassadors and spirit raisers at your school— from football and basketball to theatre, band, and everything in between; cheerleaders know how to show up for their peers and school when it’s GAME TIME.
  • What to Bring:
    • Spirit Raising Props (Poms, Megs, Signs and/or flags)
    • Spirit Night Outfit
    • Addresses for St. Jude

What's New Summer 2026?

  • Camp Type: Game Day Masters!
    • Set up similarly to a Masters camp, but all private coaching sessions are focused on Game Day (Band Chant, Crowd Leading & Fight Song).
    • Additionally, a NEW private coaching session – timeout/tradition.
      • The timeout/tradition should reflect a similar crowd interactive and entertaining performance that your team performs during halftimes, extended timeouts, or pep rallies.
  • Custom 1:1 Skills Private Coaching has been added to all overnight & commuter style camps.
  • New Coaches’ Education Seminars for 2026:
    • Practice Planning
    • Skills Warm Up Planning
    • Nutrition
    • Optional: Choose Your “Roundtable” * – program development, coach & athlete fundamentals, game day & beyond
  • Intermediate Division Stunt Class – Elective Class Option*
  • Additional New Benefits
      • Final Day Material Showcase – athletes will showcase what material they’ve learned at UCA camp at all Overnight & Day camps!
      • Stunt Classes will now incorporate intentional Stunt Troubleshooting Drills prior to teaching benchmark/progression skills.
