Level 2 Lions: is the 2nd level in our cheer program and will increase in difficulty in all areas including jumps, motions, tumbling, and stunting. You must have a hurdle round off and good arm motions and great listening skills. Kids will learn how to work in a team structured setting and will increase their skill level beyond level 1.
Level 3 Panthers: cheerleading continues to build on the foundation each cheerleader received in level 2, this class expands cheer technique, dance movements, jumps, kick combinations, stunt basics and tumbling skills. This is a great chance for kids who may want to try out for cheerleader this spring or fall, to get a head start on perfecting their cheerleading skills. Kids in this level should be highly qualified to tryout for one of competitive teams.
ADDITIONAL TUMBLING CLASSES: Recommended for all Cheerleaders, so their tumbling skills remain competitive. These classes focus on basic skills in cheerleading and tumbling so that each child may make a cheer team when they are older on any squad. Tumbling classes are geared towards teaching kids round off back handsprings and more advanced tumbling skills.
