Cheerleaders signify energy, leadership and team spirit. They are conditioned and trained athletes physically and mentally prepared to participate in all aspects of cheerleading and to perform before an audience at all times. They are leaders. They are competitors. They maintain a higher standard of behavior both on and off the mat/field. BHYFL Cheerleading focuses on the team aspect of cheerleading, and provides an athletic sport where youth can perform, compete, and as a result a learn and grow!

The Right Stuff.

Cheerleading is physically and emotionally demanding as well as time consuming. No matter the starting point, BHYFL Cheerleading hopes to teach and build:

1. Conditioning: Includes cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. Cardiovascular endurance and strength are required to perform dance, stunting and lifts, gymnastics, and strong cheer chants. Proper flexibility is essential to optimal body function, absorbing stress and impact, and decreasing the risk of injury.
2. Technique: Includes synchronization, rhythm, sharpness, motion execution, timing, spacing of formations, unison of jumps. All are essential for an effective performance.
3. Presentation: Cheerleaders appear before a crowd or audience at all times and most project poise, confidence, enthusiasm and spirit, organization, creativity, leadership, and most of all having FUN!
