The Louisville Warriors Cheerleading program is a competitive sports team for girls and boys ages 4-15. We focus on character development, competing as a unit, and teaching the fundamentals of cheerleading in a fun and safe environment.
As a competitve cheerleader, your athlete will be representing the pride of the Louisville Warrior, our commuinuty, and it’s cheer squads. Your athlete will be responsible for promoting team spirit, reflecting and projecting the goals of the program and our community. A LWC candidate must support the LWC brand and above ALL other:
· A candidate must be neatly presented, medically fit, and have parental/guardian permission.
· Acceptance of a candidate shall be on the basis of tryouts, ability, acceptance of the squad rules, coach’s agreement & without prejudice.
· A positive and respectful attitude is required at ALL times! A bad attitude will not be tolerated. Cooperation is a MUST!
· All Cheerleaders are to be supportive of each other and their coaches.
· Personal conflicts between squad members will be handled privately with coach supervision. If conflict continues, parents will be notified and disciplinary actions will be taken.
· Cheerleaders will NOT degrade or criticize another squad member, coach or opposing team player
· . • Negative responses, lack of productivity, and disrespect will NOT be tolerated!
As a student and athlete, your child’s grades and education are the most important. Report cards are required to be turned in every grading period. His/Her academics play a big role in cheerleading, both focusing on discipline, focus, and leadership. Cheerleading takes an incredible amount of hard work and dedication. It requires a real commitment, not to just the sport of cheerleading, but to the athlete’s teammates, community, and coaches. Practices will be strenuous. As a team, we will be building endurance, strength and integrity! Your athlete will be expected to give 100%.
Unity of our team, is a combination of cheerleaders, coaches, and families working together as one. A united squad becomes a family that works towards common values and goals.
Although, cheerleading will require a tremendous amount of time and hard work, It will also be full of fun and excitement that your family will not want to miss. As a member of the LWC Competitive Squad, your athlete will be a part of many memories and traditions that will remain for years to come. We can promise you a season full of rewarding experiences, where your athlete will learn a great deal about yourself and being part of a true team. As a LW Cheerleader, we will work together to build a fun, positive and loving organization.
