It's called "credentialling." In order to be credentialed, you must participate in a varsity summer camp. The credentialling is being done at home camps as well.

Credentialed for what, exactly?

Right?! I'm about as credentialed (as a coach) as you can get ... Through NFHS so I'm throughly not understanding? Is there a "squad spirit credentialing now?"... Is it spirit, safety, stunt?!

Perhaps? I always thought credentialing referred to coaches (and gym owns, in the case of all-star).

Never mind... My dippy/lazy self didn't read my E mail explaining the WHOLE thing out to me step by step ! I feel like one of my kids...
"Everyone Wear your liners tomorrow with your white bow"... Any questions?!
(Kid raises hand)
"Yea, what color bow do we wear?"

It pretty much just makes sure your squad carries the appropriate components of a well rounded crowd leading ,safe ,performance ready squad. It's sort of a "check list of sorts" that practical good technical cheer practices are set in place. -good deal

So if your squad is not willing or able pay Varsity for a UCA camp they will not be able to qualify for a bid for nationals. Am I understanding this correctly?

Are you sure? I've heard nothing about that, so I went and looked at the link that was posted. The wording makes it sound like you can actually now get a bid at camp, NOT that you have to go to camp to get a bid? Am I looking in the wrong place?
EDIT - checked my email for the first time today. You're correct, it says word for word "Because this is so important to us, the Squad Credentialing program will be a requirement for participation at UCA's National High School Cheerleading Championship beginning in 2017."

Yes, you are reading it correctly

Could be wrong - I've never had a team do game day competition or at camps because we don't do regular camps, but I don't think that is incorrect. According to my rep earlier this year you have to qualify at a competition in order to get a bid.

Interesting. It's confusing because I was watching the UCA broadcast on ESPN from a few years back, and it was said that you qualify for Game Day at camps.

Interesting because a lot of the really big UCA contenders around here don't do UCA camp. We don't do it every year, and weren't planning to this season. I'm foreseeing lots of home camps or day camp work around's going on. Thats a $400+ added expense for teams that don't always do camps!

Again I could be wrong. Gameday is not something we've ever done, however I did try to enter this year for nationals and our state rep sent me an email that we couldn't because we didn't get a bid at a UCA qualifying competition. Now it could be that we didn't do a regionals or gameday focused camp and maybe that's why, but he made it sound like competition was the only way to do it.
