Cheerleading-
Eyes are Upon You!
There are little eyes upon you and they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager to do anything you do,
and a little girl who's dreaming of the day she'll be just like you.
You're the little girl's idol.
You're the wisest of the wise.
In her little mind about you no suspicions ever rise.
She believes in you devoutly.
Holds that all you say and do,
she will say and do in your way
when she's a grown-up like you.
There's a wide-eyed little girl who believes you're always right.
And her ears are always open, and she watches day and night!
You are setting an example everyday in all you do,
For the little girl who's waiting to grow up to be just like you.

Atitude in all you do and to be
Accountable in your own actions

Team, many bodies but only one HEART
Time, one thing you can never get back wants it's wasted
Unity, as the saying goes,"United we stand, divided we fall"
Visualize & Vocalize, see what others can’t and say what other want
Wisdom, to change the things I can and to understand the things I can not and to have the wisdom to know the difference!
eXemplify, cheerleaders lead by example
Year, full of hard work, practices, games, car washes, parties, parades, friends, laughter, tears and to do all this with a "SMILE" :0}'
Zero is the amount of tolerance I have for anyone who does not give their all.
CHEERLEADING IS A WAY OF LIFE
Cheerleading is a way of life, shared by a chosen few,
It is working as a unit in everything you do
Cheerleading is a rivalry, the competition makes you strong,
It is sharing secrets and tears, learning to get along
Cheerleading is that ongoing drive to be the very best,
It is patience, perseverance, and very little rest
Cheerleading is having poise and charm with every word you say,
It is total dedication twenty-four hours a day
It is always being ready with encouragement and a smile
Cheerleading is your chance to express your individual style
Cheerleading is reaching out to comfort a sister who is sad,
It is defending each other in good times and the bad
Cheerleaders are always there when someone asks,
They treasure the present moment and let go of the past
Cheerleading is a talent to be able to shine on cue
It is hiding the pain and anguish that if only half the people knew
Cheerleaders, after all, are real people that sometimes get down
but when they're in the spotlight, they must never show a frown
Cheerleaders are actresses always ready to go
That is why it's important for all the world to know
Not every girl can be a cheerleader, it takes a special kind
Cheerleaders are full of life and a little bit out of their mind.
A Flyer's Thanks
Thank you to my bases for always being there
It's all because of you that people see me in the air
Thank you to my back spot- I've a lot to thank you for
You've landed flat on your back- but never let me hit the floor
For all those times I smacked you- trying to twist down
For all the times I spazzed out- and couldn't get around
For all the times you yelled, "Lock out! LOCK YOUR KNEES!"
For all the times you said ok when I said, "one more time, please?"
I didn't catch your shoulders- its my job as your flyer
You said ok and didn't kill me when I said, "uh, could you catch a little higher?"
When ready to give up- "Stick it!" you would scream
And I could, because of you and the faith in our team.
For all the times you were tired- your muscles were so sore
With a sigh, you toughed it out and let me stunt some more
When trying new stunts and I was scared of what to do
You calmed me down and promised, "Relax- you know we've got you"
Bruises, pain and knuckle scrapes- my basket tosses brought
Backwards, forwards, sideways- I still knew that I'd be caught
I know it can't be easy- catching all my weight
You make it look so easy- we make our stunts look great
And even when we drop one- I know its not the end
You always catch me safely and we put it up again
So for all the times you caught me- you never let me fall
I know that backs and bases work the hardest of us all
You do all the work and I get so much glory
I know it isn't fair that people don't see the full story
Just know once more I thank you- for everything you've done
Without your work and friendship cheering wouldn't be as fun
And every time someone says they're amazed by what I do
I thank you and know that it my heart,
It's all because of you.

Life-- is what you squeeze in between cheerleading practices!!
Cheerleading takes...Skill, Pride, Integrity, Rhythm, Intelligence and Teamwork!
I tossed & turned all night, slept through the alarm, was late for school, broke up with my boyfriend and CHEERED at the game. Not a bad day!!!
Don't make me choose between my boyfriend and cheerleading-- it would break his heart!!
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday--I only cheer on days that end in "Y".
If people say you jump, tumble and yell like a girl, take it as a Compliment!!!
Boys are great! But the real ATHLETES are on the sidelines!!
Wimps lift weights, cheerleaders lift people!
The only difference between us and ball players is we jump, toss, and catch year round.
In any other sport, if you miss the catch all you lose is the ball.
Cheer all out or don't cheer at all!!
The price of cheer shoes......$75. The price of cheer camp.....$200 The price of winning your first National Competition......priceless!
I run like a girl, jump like a girl, and pop 10 feet into the air like a girl!
The difference between a big shot and a little shot is... The big shot is just a little shot who kept on shooting!
Hey - there is no halftime for cheerleaders!
It doesn't matter if you win or lose the game - it's how loud you CHEER!
I practiced for 20 hours, nailed my stunts, decorated lockers for the team, painted a zillion posters, washed 428 cars, practiced some more, got the student body pumped up at the pep rally, and rode a 1000 miles on the drafty bus...But hey, NO SWEAT! I'm a cheerleader!
If cheerleading is so easy...why can't you pick up any girls?
Cheerleaders are angels...we're the only humans who can fly!
Cheer Attitude- You mess with me, you mess with the whole squad.
Cheerleaders are the only ones who know how to fly high and reach their goals at the same time.
You may think you're all that, but you can't get anywhere without your squad.
Sportsmanship starts and ends with the cheerleaders.
Cheer every game, as thou it were your last.
When all else fails, let your spirit shine through.
The difference between good and great is practice, practice, practice. There is no *I*in TEAMWORK.
Somewhere in the stands is a little girl who wants to be just like you...don't let her down.
It takes years to build character...and a second to destroy it.
The fans are looking to you, not at you.
Mom doesn't know where your uniform is because she didn't wear it last.
Democracy ends at the coach's door.
Coaches guide, and you, Keep the *leader* in cheerleader
Cheerleaders are a team and there is NO I in TEAM!
Extend yourself. Cheer.
I don't just cheer. I inspire.
Cheer-ability is a talent for deciding something quickly and getting everyone in the stadium doing it.
The spirit to win and the will to succeed are measured one stunt at a time.
It's not the glitz of the uniform that matters, but the spirit that shines within it.
A good cheerleader is not measured by the height of her jumps but the span of her spirit.
I trade sweat for strength. I trade doubt for belief. I trade cheerleading for nothing.
You let us win like we let you lose!
If you've got the game, we've got the cheer.
A cheerleader is a dreamer that never gives up.
Cheerleaders are simply a jump above the rest.
Yes, I'm a cheerleader, Yes, I'm an athelete, Yes, I'm a girl... got a problem with that?
A squad is only as strong as it's weakest cheerleader.
If you want to compete... practice. If you want to win... practice harder.
CHEERLEADER: (n.) An athlete who can jump, kick, toss, catch, stunt, tumble, AND fly...
Athlete by nature, cheerleader by choice!
Any man can hold a girl's hand, but only the elite can hold her feet!
If football is so spectacular, why does it take cheerleaders to excite the crowd?
"Without a conductor there is no orchestra. Without Cheerleaders it's only a game."
Just because we don't run across goalines, slam dunk basketballs, or hit homeruns... doesn't mean we can't CHANGE THE SCORE!
PLAYERS: (definition):
A vital part of any sports event, they entertain the crowd in the intervals between timeouts so that Cheerleaders can take a well earned break.
"I don't play the field - I rule the sidelines."
"If cheerleading was easy, it would be called football."
"Eat. Sleep. Cheer. Repeat."
The refs have always been blind, it's our job to make them deaf!!!
Get a life--a CHEERLEADING life, nothing else matters!!
