My Students

Our cheerleading team has been hard at work to become more competitive in their sport. The team would like to be able to compete locally as well as be able to go on and compete at the state level. The biggest challenge in reaching this goal is having the proper cheer floor to practice and train on.

Our cheerleading team is dedicated and hard working.

The student body as a whole works as one family and supports one another. One element that brings us together is the pride that the students have in what they do. Our cheer team rallies behind our athletic teams and is working on becoming a more competitive team within their own sport, but needs the proper flooring in order to train and become more competitive and successful in their sport.

My Project

The cheerleading team will be able to use these mats in order to practice tumbling, stunting, and to perform their competition routine. It would also help improve their performance by being able to work on synchronization and technique. They will also be able to use this floor in order to hold exhibition competitions of their own in order to fundraise throughout the season.

Cheerleading is an empowering activity that gives student athletes the ability to perform, gain confidence, and push themselves, as well as others.

By having the proper cheer mats they will be able to work on the surface they will compete on, this will help to instill confidence and pride in what they do and therefore push their competitive ability to the next level.
