Benefits of Cheerleading

Physical Endurance

Cheerleading is a great cardio workout! Cheers typically only last a couple of minutes, so it is necessary to repeat high-energy routines. Choreography contains dance and tumbles, jumps, and sometimes stunts, all of which require great stamina, especially to maintain a big smile throughout the routine as well!

Strength Training

Cheerleading is a whole body workout. You will build strength by rehearsing weekly, particularly in your lower body, shoulders and core.

Flexibility

Stretching exercises within each class will develop your flexibility, increasing your range of movement. It will help improve your high kicks, jumps and tumbles within the sequences.

Coordination

Coordination is a crucial element of Cheerleading. You will improve your ability to learn routines and perform them in time with your teammates.

Team player and Leadership skills

Performing and practising as part of a team is vital for Cheerleading to complete sequences in unison and support stunts and tumbles. It can also improve leadership skills by building confidence to speak up for the good of the team.

Positive Mood

Release those happy hormones! Exercising releases endorphins which will boost your mood. Cheerleading, in particular, is all about portraying a positive outlook with upbeat chants and a huge smile, which is sure to leave you in a good mood!
