n June, the Argyle Middle School and High School Cheer Programs attended NCA Speed Camp at the University of Oklahoma. The NCA Innovative Speed Camps are designed to be the premier source for skill development and training of today’s cheer athlete. NCA Speed Camps are perfect for teams that want to focus on the techniques needed to advance their individual and team skills in stunts, pyramids, and baskets. NCA Innovative Speed Camps are taught by the most highly-trained professionals in the nation. This was a new format for our program and the girls loved it!! It was an intense 3 days of tumbling, stunting, and pyramid building. There were three awards that were awarded at the end of camp as well as NCA All-American Cheerleader.
