My Project

As our school embarks on a new cheerleading path, we are in need of essential materials to increase our skills level! This is the first time many of our students have participated in cheerleading and we want to provide them with tools necessary to enhance their skills.

These mats will allow us to coach, teach and spot our students safely.

By utilizing these materials our cheerleaders will be able to enhance their athletic abilities and learn how to tumble. By gaining tumbling, our students are increasing their skill level which will ultimately enhance their chances at making high school level and college cheer level teams.
