CheerLink CHEER UPDATE We ve had a fantastic start to the competition season with both the AASCF Winterfest and AASCF All Star Battle Competitions a huge success! All MLC teams have competed fantastic routines; we couldn't be happier with how the teams are travelling. Preparation is underway for the upcoming State and National Championships, with the comments made from the judging panel, coaches are working hard to apply changes to the girls routines. As teams develop more strength and begin to execute skills well, coaches will continue to challenge them further by making their stunt sequences more difficult. Congratulations to the Senior Level 3 team for winning a bid to the prestigious AASCF Australasian Pinnacle event, a huge achievement for the team. A further congratulations to the MLC Starbursts for being the only MLC team to hit zero at both competitions this year.
