Maddie's first cheer attempt

My sister Maddie, formed her own cheer team last year. This clip was her very first attempt to cheerleading. She has no experience in cheerleading at all but managed to convinced a few friends of hers to join her.

The school intially rejected her call for a cheerleading team, citing inappropriate attire and sexy moves the reason of rejection. But she struggled her way in getting her team to perform in the sport's day to prove the teachers that cheer doesnt have to be indecent. She was scolded and blacklisted by several teachers in her brave fight for a cheerleading squad.

After a year, they managed to form an official squad but the school is not sponsoring. The apparatus, uniforms & coach fees are bore by the cheerleaders, they dont even have a place to practise despite the school has huge shaded area.

They usually practise under hot scorching sun and get all sun-tanned. Despite being actively involve with dancing and cheerleading, she managed to score 6As for her PMR, quite a surprise to myself and my family. This year will not be an easy year for her due to her hectic performance and upcoming Cheer 2008. I wish her luck, and Maddie... STUDY....

Love,
