JUST CHEER

 

Just Cheer is a gym that in the cheerleading world is know to dominate. They are one of the largest gyms in the Northern new Jersey area. This gym is home to the National Champions, The Just Cheer Jaguars!

In the past year each one of there teams has been recognized in both the state and county as the top contending teams.They are always proud to announce there accomplishments. Some of them include, 2 Bids to Cheerleading Worlds, one of those bids was a paid one. 2 Universal Spirit National Championships, 3 Reach the Beach National Championships. 4 Spirit Unlimited National Championships, 1 Battle at the Capital National Championship, a Youth 2 Grand Championship, and a full paid bid to The International All Levels Championship 

This gym is currently in there 13th year of there All-Star program and with each year I can say that I have seen them improve. This gym had multiple teams with ages ranging from as young as 4 years old to as old as 18 years of age. The children will start at the Tiny Exhibition level, then move up to the Mini Exhibiton Level, then to the Youth 2 level, then to the Senior 1 Level, then as you get older you move to the Senior 2 Level, then to Senior 3, then to Senior 4. As you come close to the end of your Cheerleading career before you go off to college you will enter the Coed team called Senior Coed 5, then the last team is the Small Senior 5 team. 

The teams that I have here (from bottom to top) The Bottom 2 are the Small Senior 5 team at the Ramapo College Cheer and Dance Competition this past January in 2012.  Then the Top 3 is the Senior Coed 5 Teams also at the Ramapo College Cheer and Dance Competition.

MORE ABOUT MY PAST ...

I have cheered at Ramapo College for 4 years and loved every minute of it. We have traveled to Daytona Beach Florida for 2 years but because of team complications we were unable to attend the past 2 years:(.
 There are videos of me on there or there are videos of the team that I have been apart of for four years of college. There are videos of the good times and the bad times and the embarrassing times. FYI... The Uniforms that we are wearing in one of the videos are currently considered out old uniforms.

Blast From The Past ...

Sometimes marking everything out makes you remember it better for when its time to preform

Ramapo College Cheerleaders at the 2010 NCA Cheer and Dance Competition. They are practicing there skills before they compete that night. Although they are marking through all of there gymnastic skills the routine should be an improvement compared to there previous years performance.

Favicon

University of Kentucky UCA Champs

Back in January, the University of Kentucky Wildcats had won their 19th UCA National Championship at the ESPN Wild World of Sports. They have been going to this competition for the past 28 years. This team seems to not be able to clinch the title 3 years in a row but they always seem to gain it back the following year... Do I detect a pattern?
Unlike the North Carolina State University, The University of Kentucky's Cheerleading team is considered a spirit team but yet apparently falling from a 3 high pyramid is just like getting hit by a 300 pound line-man.
As you will see in the below video the University of Kentucky had great use of signs, pom poms and megaphones... the use of things like that will score you big and easy points on your score sheet. Those points could be the difference between a First and Second place.
Here is there performance at the 2012 UCA Nationals in Florida...

North Carolina State University

At most colleges and universities, cheerleading is not listed under there women's sports tab, because most people believe that cheerleading is not a sport. like I have said before cheering for a football team or a basketball team is not a sport. Although most Collegiate Cheerleading teams do cheer on the sidelines of there schools basketball or football teams, the teams think of those games as practice for when they are competing at a big competition.
At North Carolina State University, when you go to there athletics page and you place your mouse on the schedules tab. right there is black and white is the word cheerleading, under the women's sports section.
These cheerleaders work hard at what they do, as does all the other teams out there. Here is a little taste of how they did at NCA Competition in 2011

The Legends HAWAII PACIFIC UNIVERSITY CHEERLEADERS

Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) is a Division I school. They are defending National Champions for 8 years in a row. Most of these talented athletes had been accepted into this school based on there pure talent and skills and most of them are there on scholarship. Because they are here on scholarship they must keep there grades above a certain GPA.
They are coached by Savanna Sibley, she is not only the head coach but she was also on the universities large coed team and was captain of there small coed team for the last 5 years of her schooling. She had a vast background in dance and gymnastics. Sibley, started her college cheerleading career at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and is now the coach at HPU.
Every year teams from all across the nation travel to Daytona, Florida, to compete against each other. In college there are different levels that each team enters. Each level contains a different level of difficulty. HPU is at the highest level, which means there is not much that they cannot do. They have a couple different teams that compete, there is the large coed, small coed,and there all girl team... Here is there nationals performance from Daytona Nationals 2011
