My Students

Help me get my athletes some new Cheerleading mats. These are some of the hardest working girls I know. In addition to spending hours and hours practicing for games and competitions, these girls are Honor Roll students taking Honors and AP level courses.

They are ambassadors for our school and go and support our student-athletes and we need help supporting them.

We currently are using 2 mats for a team of 16 and when we are using them our JV team can not use them as their is not enough room. Ultimately our goal is to get enough mats that everyone can be using the mats at the same time.

My Project

My athletes use the mats for stunting and tumbling. Having the correct safety equipment allows them to learn and build on skills in a safe environment. In addition to be competitive in the sport of cheerleading, daily practice in these areas are required. With our current mats we do not have the ability for the girls to practice their skills full out without going to private gyms. Also, some of my athletes have not been taught these skills. With these mats we are able to use the knowledge we learn at camps and through other instruction to help our cheerleaders become the best they can be.
