3 MHS Cheerleading Website Goals for Team Bonding Get away from having cliques. Commitment to the team 24/7! Show up! We want everyone to be at every practice and game. Be present especially when you are present! FOCUS! Be the Best! Continue to be the best cheer team on the sidelines and floor. Keep ahead of other regional schools. Work hard to maintain and continue to increase difficulty of cheers, dances, and especially stunts! 360 s, full downs, partner stunting with guys We must constantly work on skills in and out of practice. tumbling 3

4 Pat Riley on Commitment There are only two options regarding commitment, you re either in or you re are out. There s no such thing as life in-between. 100% Commitment Buy-in to the MHS Cheerleading Program Unwavering Let the coaches coach! We will ask your daughter/son to work harder, run faster, jump higher, cheer louder, take constructive criticism, focus more intently, step outside of their comfort zone, follow rules etc. Our first priority is to the team not to individuals. We want the same from our cheerleaders. Positive Comments and Support 4
