At SCA we specialize in the ULTIMATE training experience for serious cheerleaders. Instead of producing hundreds of camps to teach all cheerleaders, we focus on creating one-of-a-kind camps for a few. In other words, we don't produce a lot of good camps; instead, we produce a few truly outstanding ones.

SCA was established in 1985 by Nadine Bryant Romero. McNeese State University, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, hosted the first SCA camp. This camp received maximum exposure with Olympic Gold Medalist Julianne McNamara in attendance. Approximately 400 cheerleaders from Texas and Louisiana attended the original SCA camp. Julianne performed before a crowd of 1500 cheerleaders and spectators for the opening of the camp on July 7th, 1985.

In 1986, SCA expanded and produced additional camps at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, formerly USL and Southeastern Louisiana University. The Southwestern Cheerleaders Association now produces cheerleading camps throughout the South and has taught over 40,000 cheerleaders since 1985.

SCA produced the first Cheerleading Competition in the state of Louisiana in 1985. In 1990, the first SCA National Championship was held in Lake Charles, Louisiana, at the Burton Coliseum. The championship site was later moved to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, Louisiana. Approximately 200 cheerleaders competed in the early championships. In 2007, SCA expects to host approximately 2500 competitors in the Cajun Dome for SCA's 16th National Championship.

SCA has earned an impeccable reputation in the cheerleading industry for the consistent and high standard of performance applied to every camp and championship.
