Cheerleading isn’t for the timid or weak; it is a demanding sport
Cheerleading is NOT what it
used to be. Since being discon
tinued in many districts for a
variety of reasons, cheerlead
ing has become an intensely
competitive, year-round sport,
attracting both young men and
women, who learn to perform
exciting stunt routines and
dances.
Since modern cheerleading
involves difficult and danger
ous stunts, proper training is
essential.
Every
summer
squads from all over the state
go to one or more “Cheer
Camps,” usually on college
campuses, to learn from the
pros. The $200 per person cost
for camp may be the biggest
single expense, but each per
son must also have uniforms.
Vernonia
High
School
Cheerleaders, like Vernonia’s
Equestrian Team, must raise
all of the money needed to pay
their expenses. This is also
typical of cheerleading pro
grams throughout our area.
Since cheerleading has no
“season," participants need
uniforms suitable for hot or cold
weather at football games, plus
indoor uniforms for volleyball
and basketball. Teams usually
have practice uniforms, 'as
well, for camps and clinics.
The Vernonia Cheerleaders
have been raising money all
year, most recently by teaching
youngsters a series of cheers
that they will perform as part of
the Jamboree Parade. After the
parade, cheerleaders will be
tickets. Raffle prizes donated
so far include a variety of prod
ucts from the Gerber Knife
Company, a one-night stay at
the Vernonia Inn, several free
dinner coupons, and a variety
of gift certificates. Raffle tickets
cheerleaders show some of the strain and effort they will try
to hid when they’re urging fans to cheer for the home team.
