The HHS Cheer Program
The HHS Cheer Program
Cheerleading, like any other extra-curricular activity, should be part of the total educational experience of our students and an extension of the classroom. It provides an extra-curricular activity for girls, which combines athletics and the development of leadership skills.
Our athletes are taught skills in stunting, jumping, tumbling, arm precision, strength, and conditioning. We emphasize teamwork and work towards the achievement of personal and team goals. They also learn correct spotting techniques and follow guidelines as outlined by MHSAA.
Goals:
Athletic: Our athletes are taught skills in stunting, jumping, tumbling, arm precision, strength, and conditioning. We emphasize mental toughness, teamwork and work towards the achievement of personal and team goals. They also learn correct spotting techniques and follow guidelines as outlined by MHSAA.
Non Athletic: Participation in cheerleading helps develop self-esteem, leadership skills, teamwork, discipline, and encourages healthy lifestyle choices. The girls learn to see their position as role models, not only for younger children who look up to them, but to their classmates and the community in general. They are very visible representatives of Plymouth High School. We expect our teams to demonstrate good sportsmanship and learn to encourage positive crowd participation and school spirit at games and in school. Out girls will display good manners, respect for the rights and property of others and behavior in which brings pride to your family, their team, their coach, our program, and our school.
The HHS Cheer Program consists of 3 teams throughout the Fall – Football Sideline Season and Winter - Competitive Cheer/Basketball Sideline Season.
In the fall, there is Varsity Football Sideline, JV Football Sideline, and Freshman Football Sideline. All three of these teams cheer all home and away football games..
In the winter, we have Varsity Competitive Cheer Team, JV Competitive Cheer Team, and a Freshman Competitive Cheer Team. Each of the competitive cheer teams are required to participate in Basketball Sideline to cheer all home basketball games for both the boys and girls basketball teams.
The differences between Sideline and Competitive Cheer can be found in the left toolbar.
To the left, you will also find our HHS Cheer Handbook in the left navigation bar. Here you will find all of the rules and requirements it takes to be a HHS Cheerleader. Also on the left hand navigation, you will find information and requirements for each level of (Freshman, JV, or Varsity) cheer.
HHS sideline cheerleading teams practice 3-4 days a week in the summer and during football season, and the competitive team/basketball sideline practices 5 days a week in the winter, as well as competes on Saturdays.
This year will hopefully be the best year yet for cheerleading at Howell High School. We will do our best to make sure that the girls make everlasting friendships, great memories, and all the necessary fundamentals of cheerleading which will benefit them in future endeavors. Cheerleading at HHS will be so much more then cheering at games and competitions. It is the perfect opportunity for your daughter to develop lifelong leadership and teamwork skills.
