Cheer Squad

The cheerleading squad is coached by Shari Roberts and Whitney Gwaltney, who encourages the boys and girls to excel while helping them to develop into Godly young men and women.

Faith Community Christian High School Cheer Squad is a co-ed, competitive program. We cheer at basketball games, and various other sporting events. In addition to school support we also compete at multiple competitions throughout the season. We incorporate gymnastics, cheers, dancing, and stunts to engage the crowd and show support both for the school and for our program.

Philosophy:

To provide a program of excellence that:

• Develops athletes to be leaders and role models in their family, school, church and community
• Nourishes spiritual, relational and physical growth
• Teaches Christ-like attitude, character development and life skills through the lessons of team work
• Encourages young men and women to be their very best, and reach their full God- given potential

Expectations:

We want our students to enjoy the sport of cheerleading! Fundamentals will be taught and emphasized at every level. Below is a break down of what needs to be emphasized and taught at each level:

• Individual and team skill development for motions, jumps, stunts, tumbling and dance will be taught in progression with an emphasis on safety.
• Basic cheerleading terminology, leading the crowd and school spirit will be taught.
• Flexibility, strength training and conditioning will be integrated into every practice.

Our season starts with tryouts in late May. We hold optional practices through our summer season. During the summer we have a required camp where we prepare and practice competition choreography and advanced stunts. Tryouts start in May and we compete through March. It is a very long season, which takes determination and dedication. The cheer Squad at Faith Community Christian High School is a prominent face at all FCCHS events, consistently showing their support at athletic events, school events, and other activities with charm, enthusiasm, and spirit.
