Working on strength and flexibility such as push ups, sit
ups, handstands against a wall (with mom’s permission), and splits would be
beneficial. Don’t let your students work on tricks on the grass or trampoline.
Save this for their class with their coach.
Academy West is dedicated to helping each child realize his or her own potential in a safe environment with an atmosphere of good sportsmanship which will build self esteem, confidence and life skills.
Ballet
Ballet introduces the fundamentals of classical ballet
technique. Each class focuses on proper posture, body positions, and alignment
while also building on ballet vocabulary. Classes include barre work, balance,
hopping, skipping, jumping, galloping (basic locomotor movements), age
appropriate stretches, basic positions of the arms and feet, and ballet class
etiquette are part of the curriculum.
Team Building
Like all team sports, cheerleading offers more than physical
benefits. Sports can help teach kids essential life skills, including teamwork,
discipline, and communication. Squad members must rely on each other for the
effectiveness of routines, as well as ensuring each other’s safety during
difficult moves. If competition against other squads is involved, it becomes
even more important to work together as a unified front.
