Mama’s Day Off Cheer Camp

Cheerleading is more than just cheers and stunts. It builds confidence, teamwork, and a sense of fun for kids of all ages. If you have a cheerleader at home, you might be wondering how to help them grow their skills while keeping the experience enjoyable. Especially during the month of May, when most teams are "off-season" or preparing for Tryouts!


That’s where Mama’s Day Off Cheer Camp comes in. This camp offers a great way for cheerleaders to learn, play, and connect with others in a supportive environment. Give mom a break, and let us take on that energy, teach new skills, and explore the world of cheer!


What Is Mama’s Day Off Cheer Camp?

Mama’s Day Off Cheer Camp is a one-day event designed specifically for youth who are either interested in or experienced cheerleaders. It’s a chance for kids to practice skills, try out stunts, and enjoy games and activities that keep things fun. The camp is divided into sessions by recommended age group, so every participant receives age-appropriate coaching and challenges.


The camp runs several sessions throughout the day:


  • Session 1

    • Class A (7:15 am - 8:30 am): For kids aged 4 to 6 years.

      • This session focuses on very basic stunting, learning cheers, and fun games.


    • Class B (8:45 am - 11:00 am): For kids aged 7 to 11 years.

      • This group works on foundational stunting and cheers, and has the option to focus on specific skills.


  • Session 2

    • Class C (11:15 am - 3:00 pm): For teens aged 11 to 17 years.

      • This longer session includes foundation stunting, cheers, games, and focused skill work.


    • Class D (3:45 pm - 7:30 pm): Also for teens 11 to 17 years.

      • This longer session includes foundation stunting, cheers, games, and focused skill work.


There’s even an option for older cheerleaders to attend both afternoon sessions with a lunch break in between. This setup allows for extra practice and skill development.



What Families Can Expect

One of the biggest advantages of Mama’s Day Off Cheer Camp is how it’s built to actually work for families. The sessions are timed to keep kids engaged without burning them out, and the day's structure keeps things moving without feeling rushed or chaotic. Parents can drop off their athletes knowing they’re in a safe, organized environment where things are being run with intention, not just supervised.


That environment starts with the staff. Hit Zero Strategies takes safety and preparation seriously. Coaches and staff undergo background checks, stay up to date with training, and bring real-world experience working with athletes at different levels. It’s not just about running a camp, it’s about creating a space where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported while having fun!


There’s also a strong social side to the day. Athletes get the chance to meet other cheerleaders, work together, and build connections with people who enjoy the same things they do. For a lot of kids, that ends up being just as important as the skills they’re learning.


Activities and Skill Development

For the youngest group (ages 4–6), the focus is on simple movement, basic stunting, and learning a couple of cheers in a fun, low-pressure way. It’s all about building confidence and keeping it positive.


For ages 7–11, athletes work on progressing from stunting fundamentals and how motions and timing come together, with a mix of structure and activity to keep things engaging.


For the older groups (ages 11–17), the focus shifts to technique, reps, and consistency. They also have the option to focus on specific skills, allowing them to spend time working on specific areas instead of rotating through everything.

Games and activities are built in to keep energy up and give athletes a chance to reset, creating a good balance between fun and skill development.


How to Register and Prepare

If you think your child would enjoy Mama’s Day Off Cheer Camp, registration is straightforward. You can find all the details and sign up on the official event page. It’s a good idea to register early since spots can fill up.


On the day of the camp, make sure your child wears comfortable clothes and brings a water bottle. Cheer shoes or sneakers are best for safety. The camp provides all the coaching and equipment needed for the activities.
