Introduction

 Upward Cheerleading promotes character and self esteem in every girl by focusing and rewarding their positive actions, positive words, and positive actions. Upward Cheerleading is not your typical cheerleading program. Upward Cheerleading does not have tryouts, all girls are welcome to be apart of this program. Upward Cheerleading will teach positive cheers and chants that encourage others. There is no tumbling in Upward Cheerleading. We do not want to create an enviroment that is uncomfortable for some girls; we do not teach or preform any stunts or tumbling.

Upward Cheerleading focuses on the positive results we see and we reward each cheerleader for their good spirit and positive leadership – emphasizing FUN while making new friends. 

Upward Cheerleaders will practice once a week for an hour, and cheer for a one hour game on Saturdays. Practices days will be Tuesday or Thursday night. Practices will be held at one of the Hales Corners Lutheran Campuses. Upward Cheerleading will be cheering for the Martin Luther Youth Football program on South 76th Street for 3rd – 6th Grade football teams. Cheer Teams will consist of no more than 10 girls per cheer team. The Upward Cheerleading program includes a modest uniform (Cheer Top and Skort), pom-poms, megaphone and several other items in their starter kits. Upward Cheerleading will provide a FUN and EXCITING environment for girls to learn the basics of cheerleading and provide an opportunity to meet and make some new friends. 

We had 32 girls signed up for our 1st season. We had 2 teams of girls in our 1st - 3rd Grade Division, and 2 teams in our 4th - 6th Grade Division.

Purpose and Values

The Purpose of Upward Cheerleading We believe that Every Girl should learn that they can be a beacon of light in dark places.

Matthew 5:16 – Let your light shine before men/women in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

The Expectation of God-Moments We believe that God is at work all around us.

Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

The Discipline of Excellence We believe in serving that exceeds expectations.

Colossians 3:17 - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Live with Integrity We believe that how we live is more important than what we say.

Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

The Importance of Children in God’s Eyes We believe that Every Child Is Important.

Matthew 18:14 - In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.

Upward Cheerleading is for girls who want to learn how to cheer with an emphasis on creating excitement, through positive cheers; inspiring them to be role models.

Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.
