The University of Dayton Cheerleading Program has organized a clinic to help you prepare for Dayton cheerleading tryouts. This clinic is only for athletes interested in trying out the 2025-26 Dayton cheerleading team.  At this clinic, you can expect training by former and current members of the University of Dayton cheerleading team. You will get help with coed and all-girl stunt techniques, tumbling, and tryout material. We believe that you will benefit from this clinic if you are interested in trying out at the University of Dayton.
