TRAINING |
The teams' usual training schedule is Monday through Friday, two hours after school each day. Extra training is required as state and other competitions approach. The fall season starts in the middle of August--approximately two weeks before school starts--and usually ends before Thanksgiving. The winter season begins after Thanksgiving and usually ends at the beginning of March. Cheerleading is a sport that involves flexibility, precision, timing, cooperation, and lots of hard work. Instead of throwing a ball, cheerleaders throw a person. Instead of running down a court or across a field, cheerleaders tumble across it, doing intricate flips.
"Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to obtain uncommon results." |
