Razorback Spirit Squads to Host Cheer and Dance Clinics
The Razorback Spirit Program will be hosting a cheer and dance clinic from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, for participants in grades 9-12 along with current U of A students and transfer students.
This clinic will provide the opportunity for participants to work with the current Razorback Spirit Program members and receive instruction and feedback from the coaching staff. The goal is to provide participants the opportunity to become more familiar with skills they will be required to perform as a future member of our program.
The cost is $85 per participant, which includes a Razorback Spirit T-shirt. Registration is available online only with no day-of walk-ups allowed.
Clinics will have a capacity limit to create the best learning experience for all participants. More details will be sent out to registered participants.
