The focus of this class is preparation for high school cheer. We will cover basics of cheerleading; the expected movements, cheers, chants, jumps, kicks, and dance. This class will introduce cheerleading to our students of what to expect on any high school cheer team through skill building, team bonding, repetition, and proper stretching.

Intro to stunting will be decided based on the focus and understanding of the skills above. Stunting takes listening, concentration, and teamwork. It will be given as a reward only with our coach’s approval.

This class is only open to 7th and 8th graders. We will have a performance for family at the end of the last class.
