CONSTITUTION

Within our cheerleading program our priority is to help promote teamwork, sportsmanship, self-confidence and physical fitness, through performance and competitive cheerleading. We aim to create a positive environment in which we can support and develop the student’s values, pride, cooperation, commitment, dedication, and most importantly having fun!

MKCA encourage sportsmanship within the cheerleading association and also hope to prepare students with important life skills. All cheerleaders are expected to practice and perform as a team. Respecting staff, fellow cheerleaders, adults and any other members of the public is integral.

Cheerleading involves dance and stunt routines, cheering, chanting and support work within the local community, therefore, students will be required to attend local events and competitions with due notice.

Parents are encouraged to show support by attending committee meetings and team events.

The team’s achievements will be recorded and awards will be given annually to the most enthusiastic and committed cheerleaders.

All students and parents should follow the rules and regulations of the constitution in order to enjoy a safe working environment.
