The Faulkner State Community College National Champion Cheerleading Squad held a stunt clinic on Saturday, October 23.  The three-hour clinic, which was open to anyone interested in becoming a collegiate cheerleader, covered three key areas in the sport: stunts, baskets, and college pyramids.  The clinic welcomed co-ed and all-girl squads from around the region.

Faulkner State Cheerleading Coach Celeste Robertson said the clinic was a huge success.

“We had people from as far away as Tampa, Fla.,” Robertson said.  “That just shows how interested people are in these types of clinics.”

From ages 7 to 21, clinic attendees learned everything from basic skills to intense lifts to high-flying tosses.
