*This program is for Girls kindergarten - 8th grade.  No experience is required.

Cheerleading is an exciting, fun, challenging and energetic SPORT.  Girls will learn teamwork, discipline, perseverence, coordination and cheers while building self-confidence and winning attitudes.  They will promote team and community spirit by working together making banners and participating in other fun projects and activities.  In developing these traits our girls will not only be successful in cheerleading, but also successful in life.

This program gives every girl who desires to be a cheerleader the ability / opportunity to do so.  Most of all we want every girl who participates to have a good learning experience in the sport of cheerleading along with developing her character and making new friends.
