DYNAMITE CHEER ALL STARS

Transcription

1 REGISTRATION PACKAGE SEASON What is Competitive Cheerleading Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing competitive sports in Canada. Cheerleaders work towards perfecting motions, jumps, and cheers. Competitive cheerleaders will also work towards perfecting a two-and a half minute routine, which includes acrobatic stunting, tumbling and dancing. Competitive cheerleading is a great way to improve your strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. Being a valuable member of a team is a great way to build self- confidence and develop social skills. Competitive cheerleading is the ultimate team sport, as it relies on every member of the team to be successful. Competitive cheerleaders work extremely hard to reach their goals. Give it a try, and you will see that being a part of the Dynamite Cheer All Stars will be a fun and rewarding experience. Rules and Regulations 1.
