HURLEY - To hone in their skills, the Hurley Midgets cheerleaders participated in a Universal Cheerleaders Association camp Friday and Saturday at the Hurley K-12 School.
Watching the team practice, coach Melissa DeCarlo said the team has had "facelift" over the past couple years and decided to call on the UAC to help them cheer and perform at a higher level, one that she knows they're capable of.
She said the team consists of 17 girls. Over the course of the weekend, the team learned stunts, dance moves and sideline cheers, including those for offense and defense.
"They learned quite a bit about how to get the crowd going," she said.
The UAC was founded in 1974 by Jeff Webb to provide high quality educational training for college and high school cheerleaders through summer camps and clinics on college campuses, according to the UAC website.
