Mission and Goals
Our mission is to train these young athletes in all aspects of the sport of cheerleading. Training includes motion technique, stunting, tumbling, jumps, and choreography. As well as building their self-confidence, stamina, work ethic, and public presence. We work toward achieving our mission through experienced volunteer coaches, committed parents, and hardworking cheerleaders. Participants must be committed to attending and being on time for practices, games, performances, and competitions; improving cheer skills; working on flexibility and perfecting jumps outside of practice; and keeping focus at practice, games, and competition.
