Hello Coaches!
We are excited to welcome you to the 3rd Annual PA College Cheerleading Recruitment Combine, hosted by Cumberland Valley High School Cheerleading! This year's Combine will return to the Cumberland Valley High School in Mechanicsburg, PA and take place on Sunday, May 18th.
​
We are excited for some of the changes we have implemented in order to make this event even better this year. For those of you who attended prior years, if you recruited anyone, we'd love to hear about it and potentially post about it on our social media! Please reply and let us know!
In 2024, we welcomed 289 athletes from 11 states to showcase their tumbling, jumping, and stunting skills to almost 60 colleges and universities from across the country! Based on our early outreach results this year, we expect the same in 2025!
​Athletes attend the Combine to connect with colleges and universities of all types and sizes to learn and directly connect with you. During the college table visit period, you are able to connect 1:1 where they can learn about your cheerleading program(s), including:
​
-
All-Girl Sideline
-
All-Girl Game Day Competition
-
All-Girl Traditional Competition
-
CoEd Sideline
-
CoEd Game Day Competition
-
CoEd Traditional Competition
-
STUNT
-
Acro & Tumbling
​
NEW FOR THIS YEAR:
-
Athletes will be provided with and asked to wear t-shirts that are color-coded to their grade level, making it easier for you to focus your discussions.
-
Parents will be asked to spectate from the upper level stands opposite the coaches, providing more room and viewing options for you.
Find more information and details through the Event Information section below!
Thank you for your interest in participating in our 2025 Combine! We sincerely appreciate the time, cost and effort you invest in our high school athletes as they explore opportunities to continue their cheerleading journey throughout their college years!
​
See you soon!

Testimonials
"My name is Alyssa Russell. I am a first-year cheerleader at Towson University. I attended the first Pennsylvania Combine in 2023 where I was then soon to be recruited by Towson.
At the combine the first thing I noticed was the bond between the Towson cheerleaders and the athletes that attended the combine. The cheerleaders and coaches were very welcoming and made me realize that TU cheer is something I wanted to be a part of. Throughout conversations with the coaches, they did not only inform me of the cheerleading aspect but also Towson's education.
Stunting with the team helped me create a personal bond with the TU cheerleaders. Overall, throughout my recruitment process attending this combine was the final factor of knowing Towson cheer was for me."
Alyssa Russell, Towson Cheerleader
College Showcase
Our athletes love spending time meeting you and learning about your program. They will be provided access to a webpage similar to this one with all of the details you shared as part of your registration.
​
The College Showcase will be located in our "spectator gym", adjacent to the check-in area and The Dome, where all the combine activities will be taking place.
​
We know things come up but please make every effort to be at the combine. We have been heavily advertising your attendance on our social media platforms and some of these athletes are only attending the combine because a specific college is coming.
Here are a few tips on what you'll want to bring for your table:
-
Tablecloth with your college's name on it. If your school does not have this, any plain tablecloth will do.
-
Items that will entice the athletes to visit your table- poms, uniforms, sneakers, gear, megaphone, trophies, etc.
-
Interest sign-up sheet on paper or on an ipad/computer. If you have a recruitment form online you can also have athletes fill that out. The school does have public wifi but if you have a hotspot/mifi, it may be a good idea to bring that if you will be needing wifi.
-
Don't be afraid to make your table look different! The athletes will remember it.
