Cheerleading

Cheerleading

Cheerleading has been gaining global popularity and North Carolina. Athletes of all ages and abilities learn cheers, chants, and routines that develop skills in proper pace, volume, motions, tumbling, stunting, jumps and choreography.  Aids and props such as poms, signs, megaphones and flags may be used to enhance the cheer performance and engage the crowd.


Did you know?

  • After being a part of different state-level events, cheerleading returned to a stand-alone state-level event in 2019 in Davie County.
  • Cheerleading is one of the most popular sports offered by schools involved in the Unified Champion Schools program.
