Summer cheer is back again this year and is offered for ages 10-13.

Athletes will begin working on skill development specifically designed for the upcoming competition season. This program is not designed for those who wish to cheer just for the Summer months. Coach Michelle and Dawn will continue coaching the POWER team for the 2009/10 season! Registration for Summer cheer opens April 15 and closes June 15.
