What makes you a great leader for your team? “I try really hard no matter I am asked to do.” I let everyone take a turn to be in the front of the line. I also get really excited when my friends learn something new. My teammates are my best friends.” (In the words of Darby)

What part of cheerleading do you enjoy the most? I love to tumble. I am learning so many new skills and I can’t wait to do them at competition.

Do you consider cheerleading a sport? Why? Oh yes! Because we wear sporty shoes and do lots of exercise.
