(* and parents of cheerleaders)

Hey ladies (and maybe guys..), cheer season is among us! I would love to start a little network of friends here on MFP that involves people that are involved in cheerleading one way or another:) We can discuss our weightloss, our goals, ideas about cheerleading, and how cheerleading connects with weightloss. I don't know if this should be a group or just everyone friending eachother so we can all be friends and support one another. I really don't know how many MFPers out there are involved, but I would love to find everyone who is for support & people who love cheerleading just as much as I do!

Basically, everyone should fill out these questions so that everyone can get to know eachother!

Here is my story:

First name: Mariah
Years involved with cheerleading: 4
Position (coach or cheerleader): Assistant coach (I can't be a head coach til I am 21)
Squad title (ie midget, varsity/jr varsity.. etc): Midget
Squad name: Ukiah Lions

Additional comments: I have been involved with cheerleading for 4 years now. Two of those years I was on varsity for my high school. I never cheered a day in my life, and I tried out for the team and made varsity! Then last year I coached the jr pee wee division for my town's pop warner squad. I made up all the cheers and the routines and my girls placed 1st at the local competition and 3rd at regionals. We were going to go to Disneyland for nationals, but the program wouldn't allow findraising at the time. I am looking forward to this cheer season. I mostly can't wait to work out with the girls. I think that I am going to have them do some sort of cheer bootcamp (I will participate with them) so that they can get in shape as well as myself losing weight and getting in shape with them.

here are some pictures:

I hope that there are people on this website involved with cheerleading! add me!

Love this! I have never ben a cheerleader, but my daughter is. She is 10, her name is Emily. She has taken cheer locally in our hometown a few years and has cheered for the peewee teams here for the last 2 yrs. She really likes ti and I think it is a great way to stay in shape and get more flexable. Not to mention how much more confident she gets everytime she takes to the field.

My daughter is 8. She has cheered 2 years midget football and is moved up to JV this year. She loves it!!!! She is moving schools this year so will be cheering for a new team and didnt want to cheer at first becasue she said she wont know anyone. I finally talked her into it and told her that this will help her meet girls becasue they will start practicing before school starts...now she will know people before the first day of school! She wants me to sign her up for tumbling so she can learn a back handspring, so we are going to do that. She just finished a 8 month session of Hip Hop dance and learned so much!
