College Cheerleading Nationals



It is now the time of year where cheerleaders start to fully prepare for nationals. Which means this is the most hectic time of the year. We are all competing for 16 spots on the mat and we all want to be on the mat. Nationals is the place every cheerleader wants to go. And after you have made the "nationals team" thats not the end you then have to preform up to the nationals standards to stay on the nationals team. and also do so well that when you go to nationals you can make it to finals but that is quite far in the distance right now its time to try your hardest and show your coach that you should be on the nationals team and show your coach your ready to work hard. Your shoulder might be ripped up, your arms might be tired, you physically might be tired but you cant give in you have to keep going and aiming for more!!! However while we are competing again our team mates for nationals spots we still have to cheer at games and go to school. And now its basketball season meaning we have 2 or 3 games a week. But cheerleaders pull through it.

Basket Ball Season




Now that the basketball season has begun our weeks as cheerleaders have become jam packed. There games during the week and on weekends. As well and practice as school. But games are defiantly a completely different experience. Whether it’s a woman’s game or a men’s game Carnasecca arena is always packed and full of excitement. As cheerleaders we get the best seats in the house and we are right in the middle of all the action. The players’ play inches away from us and we get to see every play played out right before our eyes. The energy in the arena is an experience in its own. To feel the excitement from the crowd and to hear them chant defiantly changes the whole experience. Basketball season has only just begun and it seems like this is going to be a great season.
