"Ole Miss Yes mam"


Kids Camp 2009-2010 was a huge success for the cheerleaders. Attracting kids from all over, the Ole Miss cheerleaders use the camp as a fundraiser for nationals. Children from the surrounding area come to a mini-camp for fours day and learn a variety of cheers, chants, and stunts. "I love working with kids, and it's always a joy to have little girls look up to you for being a college cheerleader" says Mary Lela Valentine, a freshman from Meridian, Mississippi. This is the 3rd annual Kids Camp that the cheerleaders have done and every year the number of participants grow. This year it was divided into two sessions, a morning and afternoon. The morning sessions were held in the grove and the afternoon sessions were in the indoor practice facility. As the season approaches, the Ole Miss cheerleaders prepare now for next summers Kids Camp!


"Red and Blue Let's Go" Cheer Camp 2009
















The Ole Miss Cheerleaders attended UCA college camp at The University of Alabama this past July. Camp is always a team bonding experience every year. Although its hard work, the cheerleaders enjoy every minute of it. It gives time for the newcomers to get to know the returners on the team. Camp sets the pace for every cheerleading teams successful season. Camp was optional but the turnout of participants willing to go was shocking. The cheerleaders received 5th place awards in Division 1A cheerleading. Camp was a blast for both athletes and their coaches. We have a great year ahead of us! Hotty Toddy!
