Cheerleading

The sport where each athlete is a vital team member.

Cheerleading is:

An energetic sport that develops poise, coordination and self confidence
Develops team spirit and morale
Provides an exciting experience in a fun filled environment
Gives participants the opportunity to express rhythm in music

Competition routines include stunting, pyramids, group tumbling, jumping and a dance break. The athletes are not only trained for performance but also learn respect, dedication, self-confidence, commitment, sportsmanship and most importantly, teamwork.

Teams compete at multiple competitions throughout the year, showcasing their routine. A high level of commitment is required in this sport as each athlete is vital in order to execute the routine.
