NEW THIS YEAR….CCCAM, in conjunction with MCJA, will be utilizing some of the invitational sites for judges training! At these sites, judges will be mentoring and training new judges to help them better understand the rules, regulations and scoring procedures in a real-life situation.  MCJA and the Board of CCCAM are excited about this opportunity to offer intensive hands-on judges training to improve the quality of judging in our sport!

Don't miss out!   The new Membership form is now available!   Register online and send in payment with your invoice as soon as possible to have access to the Safety 101 clinics and CCCAM mentors for your coaching staff this summer!  CCCAM Breakout sessions will happen in October; date will be posted in September.  Click here to fill out your membership form and register for the 2013 Fall Summit!

Save the weekend of October 26 & 27 for the 2013 Fall Summit.  The CPR classes (free to the first 50 CCCAM members that register) and MHSAA Rules Meeting will take place on Saturday, October 26 while the Summit sessions and general membership meeting will take place on Sunday, October 27.  Don't worry, we checked!  It is an away game for MSU.  Please click here to see more information about the Fall Summit.  If you would like to submit a suggestion for a session topic or session speaker, or you would like to volunteer  yourself to speak on a topic, please click here to submit your suggestions.

As a CCCAM member, you are eligible to receive support from a veteran CCCAM Board member or coach in the form of safety training in stunting.  These clinics are designed to teach coaches how to train their athletes and progress properly for safety in stunting.  These clinics should be scheduled between June 1 and October 25.  Vice-President, Patti Glenn has done the research and designed the program.  These are not stunt camps to teach new stunts.  These are clinics to help you fix fundamental technique and guide the coach in implementing a safe progression of stunts.  If you are interested in scheduling a clinic, please click here to submit your information to Patti so she can match you with a veteran coach in your area.

Appointed positions are reviewed at every Summit and executive board positions are voted on as well.  If you are interested in serving on the CCCAM Board, please click here to submit your name.  Please download the policies and by-laws to choose which position for which you would like to self-nominate.

Are you a new coach looking for some help or advice?   New to competitive cheer and need someone to show you the ropes?  Or are you a coach who has been through the process and is willing to help out your colleagues?   We are working to grow our Mentor Program.  Please click here to submit your name to be a mentor coach or be assigned a mentor coach.  Summer and fall are the best times to be able to get together and make plans!
