Action Moments

CC cheer entered the competition in the Intermediate Small Coed Division where they competed against 7 other squads from Texas, New York, Oklahoma, California and Colorado. The two and a half minute routine was  jam packed with required skills which included stunts, tumbling, dance, jumps, pyramids and cheer. After day one of competition, Central Catholic was in first place with a 3.2 lead in score. On day 2 the CC squad delivered another flawless performance, cinching the first place spot.

After months of conditioning, practicing, working through injuries and making changes, CC Cheer had reached a long time goal of winning NCA Nationals and becoming National Champions. The Central Catholic Cheerleaders qualified for Nationals during NCA cheer camp in June of 2016. NCA Nationals is a two day competition starting with prelims on day 1 and finals on day 2.
