Help me give my students these tumbling mats so they can learn and practice cheer stunts safely. Many of my cheerleaders go on to join cheer teams in high school.

My Project

Our cheer team needs new tumbling mats and you can help! These mats will help my team be safe while learning new skills.

I coach 6-8th grade cheer for both basketball and football season.

In addition, I host a cheer club between seasons to better prepare students with the skills they need to perform stunts and tumbling during football season. We also invite high school cheerleaders to earn volunteer hours during cheer club to help students prepare for tryouts at the high school level.

Thank you for your support! Cheers!
