The CYC Cheerleading Program is a multi-level program that includes basic fundamentals all the way to advanced competition. Curriculum is geared to meet the needs of CYC students and to prepare them for possible competitive opportunities. The CYC classes have main learning components: proper warm up which include stretching and lead up exercises, motions, jumps, kicks, tumbling, and stunting. The recreational classes are designed to teach students the skills required to participate on a competitive team. However, recreation classes are less serious than a competitive team and have a greater emphasis on having fun and enjoying the sport. These classes are great for kids who are just joining the sport and are not sure if it is the right sport for them. It is also great for kids who participate in a number of sports and do not have enough time to commit to a competitive team. For information on the Competitive Classes, please see section C on Competitive & Performing Opportunities.

At the CYC our goal is to develop young individuals to grow in athletics, academics and life. We recommend that our athletes take advantage of The CYC Academic Excellence (AE) program. This program is designed to augment our members' current studies. Our instructors are on site Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and will assist students with their educational needs.
