Members may compete on more than 1 team.
All team placements are at the sole discretion of Jeanne Schulte (owner) and the SCA staff coaches. We believe in placing the cheerleader where they will be most valuable to their team.
The changes, both physical and mental, that you will see in your child will just amaze you!
Your athlete will become physically strong. The exercise aspect of this alone is incredible, but to watch your athlete become more solid in their stride and confident in themself is a beautiful thing!
Your athlete will learn what it REALLY means to be part of a team. Everybody has an important role, and the team needs everybody to give their best. There is no room for a negative attitude. They will learn to support her teammates because they knows that they will always be supported on the floor and off!
Friendship - Look at any of our teams and you will never find a child sitting alone. These children build deep friendships over the years; friendships that do not revolve around outside influences. What these children have in common is knowing how to work hard as part of a team, and how great it feels when that hard work pays off!
As a parent, you will meet other fantastic families. Build friendships of your own while you watch your children succeed!
