On behalf of the Military Dixmoor Vikings, we would like to welcome you to the 2015 MDV Cheerleading Program. Our staff has been very busy in the off season preparing for an exciting and memorable upcoming year.
MDV offers this fun and exciting program for beginners, intermediate and advanced level cheerleaders. There is more to cheerleading than just learning the basics. Along with providing fun, this program promotes coordination, confidence, poise, physical fitness, artistic expression, teamwork and competitive spirit. Our cheerleaders learn the fundamentals of cheers, dance routines, chants, jumps and how to perform in front of an audience. Our program also prepares our students for junior high and high school cheer squads.
Our cheerleaders have the opportunity to participate in competitions, parades and performances. These events are an instrumental tool in creating self-confidence and high self-esteem. In our cheer program while cheerleaders advance from each division, they will learn the necessary skills in motions, cheering, dance and stunting.
Our cheerleading coaching staff is chosen on their love for the sport (yes, we said sport) as well as their passion for working with children. Our coaches are trained and mentored by the MDV Staff as well as certified in stunting with ACCAA. We train annually to ensure that our program is teaching valuable safe stunting techniques.
