"'I have been coaching for 14 years and have been going to camp even longer if you count my days as a high school and college cheerleader. Never have I seen a staff like this!! Beyond their amazing abilities, they were all so knowledgeable about every aspect of a stunt. The tips and techniques taught were wonderful. I loved that we had choices and were able to get out of camp what we needed. NCA camp was and always is a great experience!!'"
"'The staff was absolutely AMAZING & made our team feel comfortable and able to learn. I loved the way that the staff stuck to the schedule to ensure that time was not wasted and that every minute the athletes were doing something that would contribute to their overall success as a cheerleader. Overall, we had a FANTASTIC experience and will be back!'"
"'I really loved the shower of praise. I've never taken it seriously, but this past week at camp, the different praises that were exchanged between coach and athlete, was very emotional for me. Knowing that your coaching can have an impact on someone's life feels very good, and reminds me of why I stay on this side of the field.'"
