Welcome to Training Camp! April 8th was the first day of training camp for 53 beautiful ladies competing for a spot on the 2008-09 MN Vikings Cheerleaders Team. The training camp process is a 3 week intensive program to help the candidates prepare for the final auditions at the Mall Of America on April 29th. Participating in training camp will give candidates an inside look at what it will take to be a MN Vikings Cheerleader. Training camp is a busy and challenging time, they learn a variety of routines and cheers that will add up to the final show at Mall of America. The “show” will consist of 3 different style routines, a kick routine, cheers and a modeling segment. Every practice starts with a 3 mile run and this might be difficult in the beginning, but after the 3 weeks it will be easy and beneficial in the end. Although these ladies are very much focused on making the team, all the candidates are very supportive of each other and many friendships are made that will last a lifetime. This year the draft party will be a part of the training camp process. On April 26th the candidates will have a chance to meet and greet Vikings fans and become familiar with the Vikings organization.
Best of Luck to all the MVC candidates and hope to see you at the Final Auditions!
