Every Summer, the UT Cheerleaders attend the annual National Cheerleading Association's training camp, held at the Spring Maid Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The UT Cheerleaders train intensely for about a week in preparation for their awesome performances during Rocket Football and Basketball games. 

While at camp the cheerleaders are evaluated on timing, technique, creativity, and overall performance. Here they perform a routine, involving dancing and partner stunting.
