About the Program

     The Edwardsburg Rocket Cheer program is designed to equip our young Eddie Cheerleaders with essential skills and knowledge. It provides a foundation in cheerleading, focusing on physical fitness, teamwork, and discipline. Our program not only enhances athletic ability but also fosters a sense of community and school spirit.

Cheerleading Fundamentals

Cheerleaders in the Edwardsburg Rocket Cheer program learn the fundamentals that are crucial for their development in the sport. These fundamentals include:

• Basic Stunts and Tumbling: Cheerleaders practice basic stunts and tumbling techniques, which form the building blocks for more advanced maneuvers.
• Motion Technique: Participants learn precise arm and hand movements to ensure clarity and sharpness in their performances.

Cheers and Chants

In addition to learning the basics, cheerleaders are taught a variety of cheers and chants. These are the same routines used by the junior varsity and varsity cheerleaders, ensuring consistency and unity across the cheerleading teams. The repertoire includes:

• School Spirit Cheers: Designed to energize the crowd and support our teams during games.
• Motivational Chants: Short, rhythmic chants that rally both cheerleaders and fans.

Sportsmanship and Teamwork

Sportsmanship is a key component of the Edwardsburg Rocket Cheer program. Cheerleaders are encouraged to:

• Support Teammates: Foster a positive environment by encouraging and helping each other.
• Respect Opponents: Demonstrate respect and fairness to opposing teams during events and competitions.
• Promote Inclusivity: Welcome all participants, regardless of skill level, and work together to achieve common goals.

By instilling these values, the Edwardsburg Rocket Cheer program aims to develop not only skilled cheerleaders but also responsible and respectful Eddies.
