Freedom Public School cheerleaders attended the All Stars Cheerleading Camp on June 7-8 in Shattuck. Junior varsity and varsity squads participated. They were evaluated on a cheer, jump, tumbling, dance and stunt routine and received the Superior Team Award Trophy.
The team traveled to and from Shattuck each day. Cheer Coach Nicole Denham wanted to thank Bretta Woodard and Tiffany Weber for their assistance.
"We couldn't get to Shattuck if Bretta hadn't volunteered to drive the second day, and Tiffany drove the first day and took pictures and film," Denham said. "It was very much appreciated."
Each squad got a personalized, one-on-one camp experience with the program material. Coach Denham had the opportunity to request certain skills to be evaluated against a certain standard.
"So our team was not evaluated against another team but we were evaluated against a standard. It was a great learning experience," Denham said. "I'm very proud of these girls! They reached beyond their comfort levels to improve their skills and will continue to do so throughout the summer and into next season – giving us a greater ability to pump up that Eagle spirit."
