Has your son’s coaches played lacrosse before? If not place an add somewhere. Looking for college grads to come live in the area to work and coach.

Please look up callum crawford tulsa Oklahoma. He’s a Canadian teaching lacrosse there.

Faceoff specific ones might be easier to identify.. there are two faceoff focused lacrosse organizations.. Faceoff Academy and Faceoff Factory that can be followed on Instagram.. both have events all across the country..

Otherwise, prospect camps are tough to find in the Midwest (or really anywhere outside of the East Coast).. you might be able to find some camps in as mentioned by another commenter in Oklahoma… look for camps organized by ADVNC which has events in Oklahoma and Dallas or Project Midwest which may have some in Missouri

I never been to a camp but isn’t the whole point of going there the opportunity to wrestle better people. I wouldent be to worried losing is how you improve

Most of these summer camps is technique focused with some live practices. Everyone says just going to a club is more beneficial which I dont disagree with but I have great memories from these camps with my teammates and its just fun to go somewhere with your buddies for a week

I’m interested as well. Just started learn to play and I have so much to learn

When did u start

My teams favorite game during breaks is the mat obstacle course. Give each group a few mats and they have to get all the girls across the floor using the couple mats they have

All of those have great game day experiences with large stadiums. Ohio State probably biggest crowd. They all compete at either UCA or NCA nationals. Oklahoma state is BY FAR the most competitive. NCSU is probably next. Ohio state is kind of middle of the road. South Carolina and Clemson are the least competitive. (Don’t look at South Carolina’s routine from nca nationals this year, it was baaaad).

Got any specific questions?

Send me a message if you'd like. I am pretty involved in Large Coed currently.

What style of cheerleading is she familiar with?

Clemson, Missouri, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Oklahoma State compete at NCA (very All-Star like, but its college, so its a little different)

Ohio State competes at UCA, a little more traditional sideline oriented and less allstar, but equally as talented individual athletes.

Large coed wise, Oklahoma State and South Carolina have been the most consistent in going to nationals (I believe Ohio State is, but i'm not as familiar with their consistency of performance over at UCA)

North Carolina State has a tremendous coed history, but was very focused on their small coed team for the last few years. They did have a team compete large coed this past year.

Missouri has bounced back and forth between large coed and the coed intermediate division for the last few years.

Clemson bounced back and forth between large coed and All girl in alternating years. Last season and maybe 2 years ago they did bring both teams to nationals, so hopes they are staying in large coed for good.

1. University of South Carolina (USC): USC's cheerleading team is nationally competitive and often places in the top rankings. The gameday experience at USC is also touted as being incredible, with a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The co-ed team offers a perfect platform for flyers like your daughter.

2. Ohio State University (OSU): OSU also has a very strong cheerleading program. The Buckeyes are known for their intense school spirit, and gameday experiences in Columbus are notably energetic. The co-ed cheer team regularly competes at a national level.

3. Clemson University: Clemson's cheerleading squad is quite competitive. It's well known for its amazing gameday experience, especially with football. Their co-ed team provides ample opportunities to flyers.

4. University of Missouri (Mizzou): The cheerleading team at Mizzou is dedicated and talented, often participating in national competitions. The gameday experience is fun and engaging, although it may not be as lively as the top three on this list.

5. Oklahoma State University: Oklahoma State has a good cheerleading program, and the co-ed team does compete at the national level. The gameday experience, while fun, may not be as high-energy as the others listed.

6. North Carolina State University (NCSU): While NCSU has a solid cheerleading program, it might not be as competitive as the others listed here. Their gameday experience is fun but perhaps not as immersive compared to the other schools.

I 100% recommend smaller D1 camps. I went to a Campbell university camp and an NC State camp this year, the State camp was all about seeing if you were already good enough to play for them. On the other hand the Campbell camp was all about showing you what it takes and helping you get better at everything, and if you were good enough there is a chance you get an offer. This is just from my experience so it could be different elsewhere, also tell your son to never give up on his dreams because he can achieve them with the right amount of work and determination.

You don't want to go to the "best" camps. They're mostly just scams and money-pits, and the only people who "win" from those are the schools/groups who put them on to find recruits to court (which may be like 1-2 players out of 200+). You'll probably get just as good of instruction and coaching going to a cheap local one. The big ones put on by schools are mostly just them recruiting too. Like the other post said, it's more about seeing if there are any diamonds in the rough they need to start courting as opposed to developing players.

If your kid's school district or even the nearest college team does one (especially if it's a small college), do that.

If you're looking for Technique I highly recommend https://purlerwrestling.com/summer-camps-clinics. Great Coaching, Amazing partners. Enormous amounts of drilling and live wrestling. My Son attended several times through Middle School and High School and is now wrestling in College.

J Robinson! My son came back a beast! Huge leaps . 💸💸

App state

Purler Wrestling Academy has great summer camps.

+1 for cheer gym with open squad. Even if they don't have one, express interest and perhaps you can get enough coaches/parents/former students interested enough to start one.

I did this between college cheer and NFL cheer (Ravens). Lots of fun.

Large allstar gyms usually have some sort of an open team. Call the big names in your area. They will take your money.

I’m in Australia but also 24 and am in a women’s team that competed in the all star adult division. Several people in my team started around our age or in their 40s. I’ve seen a bunch of teams with mums in them at nationals before Covid. You can do it! Just ask the gyms around where you are regarding their adult competitive (if that’s what you want) or recreational teams. Good luck!!

just wanted to say that this isn't nuts lol. what would be nuts is you refusing to do cheer because of your age, which you're not doing therefore this is not nuts

Check out Pride Cheerleading Association. Incredibly skilled 'professional' adult teams in major cities that do public events and private events and the $ they are paid goes to charities.

boise state is more like that, you just have to have a back tuck and its part of their fight song

i know this isn’t exactly what you asked but i know lots of all star gyms have non tumbling teams which you could pursue

Lol where i go University of Alberta we have 2 teams but thats in canada haha

If you're smart, my friends made Georgia Tech's team without any tumbling experience

The University of Northern Colorado has a game day cheer team and a dance team. I was a cheerleader when it was still a competition team, but they have switched focuses since I graduated.
