What makes a good cheerleader?

Good Communication Skills - You should be able to not only speak clearly, but also be a very good listener.

Responsibility and Maturity - You should be dependable, punctual, and emotionally mature.

Be a Good Role Model - Your behavior is a reflection on not only yourself but the whole squad and the school as well. You should always set a good example in what you say and how you act.

Fair and Impartial - You should be able to separate your friendships from your responsibilities. Your decisions should not be based on personal interest and you should always do what is best for the whole squad and not just yourself.

Helpful and Friendly - You should always be willing to do a bit extra for others or to get tasks accomplished.

Be Approachable - Other students should feel like they can discuss situations and problems with you.

HERE WE GO!
