2017 Bucket List For Cheerleaders

Posted December 28, 2016

Out with the old and in with the new! As 2016 comes to a close, it’s time to make your annual New Year’s resolutions. Here’s a bucket list of ten things that you can plan to accomplish in the new year!

1. Conquer a new skill

It’s time to finally land that new tumbling pass that you have been working on for months now. Put in the work at practice and open gyms and you’ll soon see results!

2. Get closer with your stunt group

A strong bond with your teammates will help you work better together at practice and ensure that your squad will make it through the hard times to come later in the season. Plan team bonding activities such as sleepovers or karaoke nights and let the bonding begin!

4. Meet a cheer icon

Meet up with your favorite cheerleader or coach who’s made an impact on your life or in the cheer world and snap a picture-perfect selfie for social!

5. Road Trip with your team

As athletes, we spend all day, every day in the gym. Hit the road with your team for an adventure you will remember forever!

6. Become more flexible

For better heel stretches and higher jumps stretch every day for great flexibility in 2017.

9. Plan a service project to give back to your community!

Spirit squads are ambassadors for not only their schools but their communities. Plan a community service project and help give back as a team.
