WELCOME Welcome!
The PWHS Cheerleading Program is a growing exciting cheerleading program. Our cheerleaders represent and cheer for Parkwood High School’s football and basketball teams, perform at sporting and special events, and compete in approved regional and state competitions.
The PWHS cheerleaders are responsible for promoting positive school spirit and pride, for encouraging good sportsmanship, and for upholding a positive image of each team. This is a sport that involves teamwork, cooperation, honesty, and integrity from each member.
Participating on the team is a privilege and as such brings responsibilities that must be taken seriously. Being a member of the Cheer team makes each participant a personal representative of PWHS. Each will be looked upon to set a positive example for others.
We hope the tryout process is both fun and challenging, and ask that all parents/guardians and prospective cheerleaders read and become familiar with the contents of this handbook. Remember, Cheerleading is a team sport that requires full commitment from every member of the team.
We are excited to share our love for this sport with your child. We are always willing to listen to suggestions or issues, please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
We are excited to add many great changes and updates to the program this year!
The fun and excitement of cheering for our school is accompanied by a responsibility and a commitment to the PWHS Cheerleading program. There are a number of the things you should discuss with your child prior to signing all the forms necessary for her/him to be eligible to try out:
1. Time Commitment: There will be practices held throughout the year-long season. These practices are very important and required for all cheerleaders. There will also be athletic events in the evenings, during the week, and on some weekends.
2. Costs: There are initial and basic costs to which your daughter/son will be responsible. An estimate of these cost are included in the tryout packet.
Thank you, Parkwood High School Cheerleading Program VARSITY CHEER COACH Jenifer Edeker [email protected] Cell: 601-454-6121
Keep this handbook in a safe location at home so that you may refer to as needed.
