Offseason Focus

The West Carrollton cheer program is in a season of rebuilding and revival. After the setbacks brought on by COVID, the main offseason focus has been boosting participation, rebuilding a strong program foundation, and helping athletes become the best versions of themselves—both physically and mentally. “We’re working hard to get girls back out here, keep them healthy, and grow our program’s numbers and spirit,” Coach Oda shared.

Special Offseason Events

This summer, the team will attend the UCA (Universal Cheerleaders Association) Camp, a cornerstone event that delivers elite instruction and powerful team bonding. “The camp is a game-changer,” said Oda. “It brings our girls together and gets them mentally and physically ready for the season ahead.”
