The basic philosophy of our program is to build strong leadership characteristics into the lives of each cheerleader. The sport of cheerleading produces desired character qualities of leadership, loyalty, commitment, integrity, and creativity. The athletes will be aware of their individual responsibility to each other as a team in unity. When one member struggles, we all struggle. When one member succeeds, we all succeed.

Each athlete will learn what it means to make a commitment to their team and sport by remembering our core values:

Character – A strong sense of values and character are essential in every part of life. We will hold ourselves to a high standard in this area always making sure to show ourselves in a positive light. As our skills and talents grow, our character will also follow the direction forward.

Heart for team – Each person on the team is important and has something to offer. Teammates will be respectful to one another in word and in action, on the floor, in the hallways, and in the community.

Energy and effort – Cheerleaders are expected to bring 100% to every practice and game. Great effort and high energy will mean excellence in execution.

Encouragement – Cheerleaders are asked to not only encourage fellow teammates but to extend the same encouragement to their fellow students, teachers, and in everyday interactions in their community.

Respect – Cheerleaders will show respect to our team and to others. Most importantly, athletes need to respect themselves and make decisions that are honoring to the person they want to be.
