Mission Statement

If I was in charge of a youth cheer leading team my goal would be to make sure every child is having fun. The last thing I would want to do is ruin the sport for them. I have seen that happen and it's even happened to me before when the coach ruins it all for the athlete. With the whole losing and winning, I would not scream and act crazy if they lost. Competitions for youth cheer leading can tend to have a lot of tears to begin with, so I would not want to make them worse. The fundamental of the the team would be for the girls to learn how to "catch" one an other. In cheer leading the big central importance is for no one to hit the ground, so by a coach saying "catch" each other the girls could also use that in other ways. Like making sure you have each others backs.
For my rules with coaches I would have to find coaches that have the same mindset as me. Also no one wants a creepy coach for youth sports so I would have them fill out paper work and have to have an interview with them. As for the kids, it would have to be an all girls team. Boys can cheer but I think it would be to much to handle because in cheer leading, the bigger the team is, the better. If I ended up having a big group of girls that's already enough to handle. I would also have to set a certain list of requirements for tumbling, flying, and previous experience in cheer leading for the girls. And as for the parents, the louder the parents cheer with us the better. Usually in other sports parents get in trouble for being too loud, but not in cheer. At competitions if parents cheer with the team the judges enjoy that. Just obviously no negative comments.
