'Prep' Cheerleading

Practice sessions will happen once a week (1.5 hour class) on Saturday mornings and will include 3 exciting competitions. At competitions, the athlete will get the opportunity to perform for a crowd and panel of judges in their beautiful cheer uniform. Basic skills will be taught each week and advancement in skills will always be encouraged so the athlete can reach their fullest potential. Teamwork will develop as individual skills combine to create an energetic cheerleading routine.

'Tiny' Cheerleading

The Little Dippers are our “Tiny” age group. At practices the athletes focus on learning dance, cheers, jumps and stunts. We spend a large portion of the practice rotating through our tumbling circuits. We have many mats, incline wedge, blocks, octagons, and other equipment that they rotate through. Here, they practice front rolls, cartwheels, back bends/bridges, handstands and more. Our practices focus on teamwork, interactive play, skill building, and choreography introduction. It is a fun, safe space to fall in love with a sport while exerting tons of energy!

'Rec' Cheerleading

The rec program is a low-commitment team that also practices one evening a week (1 hour class). This team does not attend competition. Since there is no uniform, clothing package, or competition fees, the price is more affordable. Practices for the recreation program will be Saturday mornings in the summer, and a weekday evening in the fall/winter.

This program is subject to change based on enrollment.

'Open' Cheerleading

Our Open Team- "Eclipse", practices one day per week. This program is available for athletes ages 14 & up. This team is a fun atmosphere where we focus on new stunts and routine building. This team practices one weeknight each week. We attend 3 competitions with this competitive team.

Zero Gravity Tumbling

Cheer United offers an exciting Tumbling/Skills Class. This extra course is for those athletes who would like to progress their skills in the sport (with particular attention paid to tumbling). Tumbling mats and equipment allow for a variety of drills to be practiced for tumbling progression. Depending on athlete experience, skills that will be practiced include front rolls, cartwheels, back walkovers, handsprings, and tucks. Athletes are encouraged to progress their skills at a safe but swift pace.

Testimonials

"The past 3 years my daughter has been a part of the Centennial Cheerleading team and it has been such an amazing experience for her. To see all the growth and discipline she has developed has been such a positive experience for her. She has become a part of a family of girls that she wouldn’t have experienced without this opportunity.

I have also developed such amazing relationships with the other parents as well as the coaches. Our coaches have been second to none, such caring individuals who want nothing but the best for this team and these girls. They have always been so approachable and willing to listen. Their dedication is remarkable to give so much of themselves just because they believe in this sport and genuinely care about these girls.

They have cried with these girls as well as shared in so much laughter. Nothing I could possibly say or do could repay all that has been built into my daughter and given her such confidence to believe in herself. I will always be truly grateful to these coaches for going way above and beyond as well as the experience of 3 years of amazing memories!"

"My very shy and quiet daughter joined the cheer team 3 years ago with no prior experience. She has become the cheerleader she is through Brittany and Nikki's dedication to teaching the team how to properly and safely execute the various cheerleading moves. She has become the person she is thanks to these amazing coaches.

Some of the benefits of their coaching style that I have observed with my daughter on and off the mat include the following: The confidence she has in herself. Before joining cheer, she was not sure of what she could achieve. This fall, she is entering college into a highly competitive program that is possible due to her hard work and determination.

These are values that she gained from her coaches. She has also learned how to work with her teammates in dealing with obstacles when working towards the same goal(s). She understands that to excel at something, one needs to be dedicated and willing to work. Continuous learning and practice helps to achieve set goals. Being a part of this cheer team has brought out the best in my daughter. The coaches have not only equipped her for cheer competition but for her future! I am so grateful to Brittany and Nikki!"

"My daughter was new to Welland and new to Centennial Secondary School when she joined the cheer team. Along with these coaches she was immediately supported by a group of girls who embraced her and made her part of their team. Cheer is a beautifully choreographed team sport where every member plays a vital role. Thank you Brittany and Nikki."
