CLINIC

Our goal is to prepare athletes for what comes next. As well as smoothening the process for when they do make a college team; their minds and bodies are prepared for the demand and toll it will take on them.

Led by certified coaches and current college athletes, our clinic covers essential sessions* — technique, strength & conditioning workouts, introduction to collegiate stunts, pyramids, tumbling, interviews, and mental skills. One of the highlights of our clinic is a workshop led by our founder, Myka Barnes-Garcia, who pioneered the College Pipeline Program. Myka will share her expertise on personal branding, effective self-marketing, communication to/with coaches, and best practices for attending recruitment clinics. Athletes will walk away with resources and knowledge to set them up for success and be game day ready for recruitment.

This clinic isn't just about learning skills; it's about fostering friendships, creating memories, and developing a strong sense of camaraderie among participants. Throughout the clinic, athletes will experience:

• A vibrant and interactive environment

• Forming meaninful connections

• Food Trucks and Vendors

• Attend a Charlotte Football Club Match

• Confidence and empowerment in themselves

The commitment to supporting aspiring athletes extends beyond the mat! Parents and coaches play a crucial role in their athlete’s recruitment journey.

The North Carolina High School Showcase serves as a crucial platform for cheerleaders, gymnast and dancers in the region to showcase their talents to college recruiters and coaches. Our event offers a structured and competitive environment where athletes can demonstrate their skills in various drills and exercises relevant to their respective sports.

The Showcase also serves as a unique networking opportunity for athletes and parents to establish connections with college coaches and scouts. The face-to-face interactions allow athletes to make a lasting impression beyond their on-field performance. Personal attributes such as work ethic, sportsmanship, and dedication become evident during these events, contributing to a more holistic evaluation of the athlete. These interpersonal connections can prove to be pivotal in the recruitment process, as coaches not only seek skilled athletes but also individuals who exhibit qualities that align with their team culture and values.

Athletes are highly encouraged to purchase the official uniform for The Showcase.
