Cheer Development Program
Deep Blue Athletics offers a comprehensive program focused on individual skill development and progression, while continuing to foster a love for all aspects of cheer.
Athlete development is focused on the following:
- Tumbling (Levels 1-6)
- Jumps and Flexibility
- Strength and Injury Prevention
- Stunting (Levels 1 and above)
- Team and Individual Performances
- Growth Mindset
In each of these areas, we will closely monitor and track each athlete's progress, and maximize individual skill development. Coaches with extensive experience work closely with student athletes on their athletic development and progress, and will focus on teaching skills appropriate to each level of athlete to progress skills safely and successfully
Coaches and athletes will work on setting goals and creating programming plans to optimize development and help athletes achieve their goals. While Academy instruction is centred primarily around individual program plans, we will also focus on the team aspect of cheer, with the hope of performing or competing in the later part of the season as a team, and/or presenting individualized routines.
