Glenarden Boys and Girls Club
2010Cheerleading Season
Welcome new and veteran cheerleaders and parents. I am so excited that you have made the decision to join our awesome cheerleading organizations. As a community, the boys and girls club’s cheerleading program strives to provide upcoming young cheerleaders with the tools of athleticism, sportsmanship, and team spirit. The whole cheerleading experience will assist your child in creating opportunities for him/her within the athletic world. Your child will learn routines that incorporate jumps, dances, stunts, pyramids, gymnastics and other essential skills that makes Cheerleading a wonderful sport.
I am very proud to say that at least 80% of our former cheerleaders have taken what they have learned from our program and applied it to high school, college, and even All American teams. Of course this requires hard work, discipline, and perseverance.
As of 2009, the Glenarden Cheerleading Organization was the second largest cheerleading organization in Prince George’s County, consisting of almost 100 cheerleaders. This year, like every year, we aim to be the best, not only in competition and game performances, but in personal and physical growth. We are driven by the strength of our unity; therefore I have a very family oriented environment that encourages parents to get involved in community activities with their child/ren.
Let’s get ready for a GREAT SEASON!!! GO BULLDOGS!!!!!
