CIAA 2023 Events

As your host, Visit Baltimore has created a series of events to bring together local Baltimoreans with CIAA athletes, students, alunmi and fans.

The Black Mermaid Cheer Clinic will introduce basic cheer movements, sideline cheers and chants, some dance and unique movements, discuss the mental and health aspects of cheering, and show career opportunities in the sport. This clinic presents the opportunity to engage with young people using the power of a sport as excellence defined and practiced to build a sense of accomplishment.

This sports clinic offers a holistic approach to athletic development. The day is filled with fun, work, and education to help develop a well rounded athlete. Students are welcomed with a healthy breakfast, and then escorted to orientation to learn about opportunities and discuss mental health and wellness and longevity in collegiate sports and the sports industry with CIAA leadership and local and national sport legends. Afterwards, a team of local coaches and trainers work with the students on their physical sports development and soft skills through a series of workshops.

The Health and Wellness Summit is a series of panel discussions focused on mental health and health disparities within the African American community. Tapping some of our local athletes and medical professionals to lend their expertise, the panels will delve into a variety of topics that affect our student athletes and our community, like mental health, COVID-19, nutrition, diabetes and more.
