September 2012-May 2013 Competitive Programs

The Club level of competition in Western Canada is growing dramatically. It has to be understood that it is far from being a recreational program. The coaching staff expects a lot of determination, discipline, and dedication from each athlete. The coaches will emphasize physical, technical, and mental development with each cheerleader. The training sessions will be very challenging and will require great concentration, determination, coachability, and self-discipline from everyone involved. The coaching staff is receptive and happy to help young athletes cope with the demands of the program. Our primary goal remains the growth of each individual.  The practice, performance, and competition schedules will be posted as soon as they are released.

Schedules are non-negotiable, and athletes must attend all functions the coaches have scheduled for them. Please do not book holidays until schedules are posted.
