A pre-team cheer competition is an exciting event designed for younger or novice cheerleaders to showcase their skills in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. These participants, often just beginning their cheerleading journey, perform routines that blend basic cheer elements such as stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance. The focus is on building confidence, teamwork, and enthusiasm, rather than on complex technical skills. Routines are shorter and simpler, allowing athletes to practice and demonstrate coordination and spirit. Coaches assess the performances based on key factors like execution, synchronization, energy, and sportsmanship, encouraging growth and a love for the sport. This event serves as a stepping stone for young cheerleaders, helping them gain experience before advancing to higher levels of competition with the Synergy Competition Cheer Team or a school team. Must have prior experience or a coach approval to enroll. Held at Kathy Green Multi-Purpose Center Gymnasium. Will perform in Recital on August 22
