Since the IRC pulled both their tackle football teams and their cheerleaders, I've decided to create Indy Youth Cheerleading in partnership with the Independence Football Club! I am determined to give the youth of Independence more diverse recreational activities to participate in!
Why Cheerleading?
Why Cheerleading?
As with any organized sport, cheerleading teaches youth about respect for their teammates and leaders, self-discipline, fitness, and builds self-esteem while forming friendships and instilling a love for physical activity. Recreational cheerleading helps encourage youth to be active and most importantly, help youth to develop a positive association with physical activity which will encourage them to make physical activity an important part of their daily routine and to make healthy lifestyle choices.
A youth cheerleading program offers an alternative to traditional recreational team sports. Through participating in cheerleading, youth gain confidence as well as athleticism and physical strength while encouraging youth to engage in physical activity which has been shown to positively impact one’s mental health, emotional well-being and cognitive development. Unlike other team sports where the coach is leading the game by calling “plays”, cheerleaders are self-led while cheering, therefore recreational cheerleading provides a unique experience that encourages participants to take initiative while promoting communication and essential leadership skills which will help them to be successful in all of their future endeavors.
