Team Bags For Cheer Team

My students need cheer bags to take their items to games. This makes us look like a team when we all have matching items.

My Students

My team cheers at all varsity football and basketball games. They are freshman through seniors. There are 13 female cheerleaders and 2 male cheerleaders. They practice several hours a week to better themselves. We have been practicing in the summer as well as attending camp.

The team has a strong work ethic.

They impress me daily. They deserve to have nice things. I want to be able to reward them for their positive attitudes and a strong drive to better themselves. Not only do they want to better themselves as athletes but as students.

My Project

The cheer bags will help the team to look for uninformed. It will also help to transport their items to and from games so that they are not lost or stolen. They need to take their bows, poms, cheer shoes, and uniform to each game. The bags would be used for these items.

When the team looks more uniformed it boost their self-esteem.

It also makes them feel proud to be on the team. The bags will be returned at the end of each season and be used by the school for each season. The team members will not keep the bags.
