The Eighth Annual College Recruiting Fair for high school cheerleaders and dancers will be held on September 27, 2009 from 10am - 3pm at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch. ThunderRidge HS has partnered with Peak Athletics to bring this event to Colorado. The fair offers both local and out-of-state college coaches an opportunity to showcase their programs and recruit new athletes.

Several colleges will be performing full team routines and/or partner stunt exhibitions. Coaches will be sharing tryout requirements and dates, program and admissions information, scholarship opportunities, and general information about their cheer and dance programs

Dancers and cheerleaders alike will enjoy skill and technique training sessions, opportunities to gather information and begin college networking, and a chance to showcase their talent to some of the top local college coaches. High school sophomore, junior and senior cheerleaders and dancers are invited to attend the event as participants or spectators.

Athlete fees start at $30 for pre-registered online registrations ($35 admission at the door the day of the event) and spectators can enjoy the fair for $3. Additional information and registration is available through the website at http://www.coloradocollegefair.com/ or by calling Christina Leone or Liz Carey at (303) 797.8082.

Christina Leone, Dance Director at Peak Athletics, shares her goal for the event, "It is our hope to bring together athletes from high schools, gyms, and dance studios across Colorado, Kansas, and Wyoming. The 2009 Colorado Cheer & Dance College Fair provides the perfect opportunity for both dance and cheer athletes to partner with college coaches and discover the amazing offerings of their spirit programs."
