KAYLA Mercado (12) says she likes cheerleading and how her cheer group bonded so well. She also likes to grow as a person, and she likes how she and her group are like family. What she does not like about cheerleading is that she has to wake up at 5:00 a.m. to train. To join cheerleading, students must join clinic days and then they can audition where they perform what they learned during clinic days.

Shareth Perez (12) says her favorite thing about cheerleading is that she likes that they all work as a team. She likes to make memories as a team. Like Kayla, she does not like that she has to wake up really early for practice.

Allison Hopkin (11) says she loves and the people that she works with. What she does not like is the strength conditioning and that she must do exercises like pushups. The position that she does is flier, and she has been in cheerleading for three years.

The colors of the uniform of the cheerleaders are Granger’s school colors. They are crimson red and Columbia blue with gray, and they wear a high ponytail with a blue beret and there are pom poms that are blue white and red. 

Some of the things that cheerleaders have to do are exercises, and they have to learn what to do in the position that they have. They also have to have good grades to stay in cheerleading, and they must be a cheerful person so that they can cheer for their team after they learn the dances that their coaches teach them. 

The coach for the cheerleading team is Ms. Peterson. What she must do is inspire and lead cheerleaders in training and conditioning, creating routines, and performing physical studies. She also instructs cheerleaders on how to perform cheers and stunts properly to ensure their safety as well as the safety of passersby at events. Cheer starts at 5:00 a.m. What is cheerleading? Cheerleading is a team activity in which elements of dance and acrobatics are combined with shouted slogans in order to entertain spectators at sporting events and to encourage louder and more enthusiastic cheering and that is what our cheerleaders are doing right now. 

The positions of cheerleading are the bases, the flyers, and the spotters. Basically our cheerleaders that have these positions have to do: flier, the cheerleaders who are lifted and thrown in the air, bases: the athletes lifting and tossing the flyers, spotter: the ones supporting the bases during stunts.

Now let’s talk about our cheerleaders, let’s get to know them.
