UPA CELEBRATIONS AND MEMORIES
HELP US CELEBRATE OUR 21ST YEAR IN THE SPIRIT INDUSTRY AND 18TH YEAR OF THE AMERICUP! WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU... SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES with UPA... HOW DID UPA IMPACT YOUR LIFE? WHAT FOND MEMORIES DO YOU STILL CHERISH?
HERE’S WHAT SOME HAVE SAID...

I attended UPA several times while in high school as both a cheerleader and dancer, and I have to say that it was always our favorite competition (even better than UDA Nationals!). So it's something I want my girls to experience.

I began going to UPA Americup as a college performer when the I can honestly say the competition was "small." You never acted small though and the result has been huge growth. I've been taking MY teams for over 10 years now and recommend you to everyone. The great memories are endless but most of them happened in the hallways of our hotel, watching the competitions, in the "chute" before we competed, at the Mall Of America and all those moments when connections are made between dancers, coaches, parents, and our fans. This competition brings our team together as a family. That is perhaps the best reward. My favorite memory was winning coach of the year in 2004. I was in total shock and my team rushed the stage in the greatest surge of fan support you can imagine. I spent years cheering for them- and they were there cheering for me. I could see the pride in their eyes and thought, this is what I must look like to them when they walk off the stage. No wonder they want to do so well! It was humbling. Last year I started an All-Star studio in Green Bay and will be bringing these teams to Americup. I can't wait for them to start building their memories!

Hey UPA Staff!
It makes me feel really old to say this…
I cheered with the University of South Dakota and attended UPA in 1992. It will be 17 years ago this season! I returned to the event with my daughter Alissa in 2004 and we’ve been attending every year since then. We always look forward to the competition and enjoy our experiences every year!

I was fortunate enough to travel with UPA to Mexico City, MX and Acapulco, MX in 2001 when I was with the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders to teach and coach young girls at different schools around the areas. It was one of the most rewarding and incredible experiences of my life. I was so honored to represent The MN Vikings and of course, UPA…thank YOU!

"Hey. I won the College Partner Stunt @ UPA, back in ‘97 with my stunting partner, Penny Ramsey. Penny later went on to be a cast member in the hit TV series Survivor: Thailand. I was a cast member in the Warner Brother's movie The Replacements, as well as a few ESPN & National commercials. Cheerleading has done us both well. We are still involved with cheerleading today, but as judges, as owners, and coaching. Thanks UPA"
