We welcome
anyone to join who is wanting to just have fun and learn some
cheerleading.
PURPOSE:
First and foremost , its important to understand the special
needs teams are not about winning national championships, they
are about changing lives!!! The purpose is to give athletes more
self confidence, responsibility, and most important a big dose
of cheer fun.
USASF definition

The
SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM is now entering its 3rd
season and this year newcomers are welcome and can learn at the
beginner level/pace and for those returning they will advance if
they are ready.
In the U.S.A.
cheerleading is very popular for special needs athletes and we
are planning to do the same here in Abbotsford.
The Club's plan is to
continue getting
community support to help pay for these athletes costs.
Donations and sponsors are more then welcome.
We are looking to the community for team sponsors
to assist with outfits and travel expenses etc.
All sponsors
will have their logo registered on line with our website and as
well on the athletes clothing. Donations will be advertised as
well for those who are wanting or willing to be advertised. We
look forward to your support and help.
For further info on
donations or sponsor's please email head coach Judy James.
