CheerSPORT is a local Contemporary Dance club in Hamilton, offering a safe and exciting activity for all star cheerleaders. Athletes are introduced to the art of competitive cheerleading, which includes acrobatics, gymnastics, dance, and lifts. These skills are then incorporated into a dynamic 1-minute and 30-second routine.
The club provides teams for athletes in Grades 1-6, offering a great introduction to competitive cheerleading while ensuring a balance of fun. Athletes have the opportunity to progress through each grade every year or transition to the EliteCHEER program for further skill development.
Classes at CheerSPORT begin with a circle where coaches empower athletes with valuable life lessons and set daily goals. Athletes then enjoy a fun and engaging warm-up before receiving coaching to learn and perfect lifts and tumbling skills for their routine. At the end of each session, athletes put together the parts of the routine they have learned and practice performing it to popular music. The exclusive All Star Syllabus guides athletes through the skills they need to learn in Grades 1-6, serving as a roadmap for success.
To keep athletes motivated, CheerSPORT provides three progress reports or certificates throughout the year, documenting the skills they have mastered in their grade. When athletes complete all the skills on all three progress reports by the end of term 4, they receive a graduation certificate and can move on to the next grade the following year.
Enrollment for CheerSPORT classes is open year-round, allowing individuals to join anytime. The club welcomes new athletes, regardless of previous cheerleading experience, and provides comprehensive training for all necessary skills. When joining, it is important to introduce yourself to a staff member, who will direct you to the appropriate class and assist in finding a class buddy. Participants should wear close-fitting athletic attire, sport shoes, tie up hair, and avoid wearing jewellery. Don't forget to bring a water bottle for hydration!
During classes, athletes will engage in a fun warm-up routine, followed by activities focusing on body strength, stretching, lifts, pyramids, and some tumbling. Coaches will guide athletes through the skills required in their assigned grade according to the CheerSPORT syllabus. Routines will be polished for competitions and parent show-offs.
At CheerSPORT, the goal is to ensure that every athlete has a great experience. If, for any reason, you don't enjoy it, please talk to the club about other class options that may suit your needs.
