The gymnasium is packed, the fans are getting restless, the players are doing some of the pre-game drills and the coaches and referees are checking the scorebooks. But wait...aren't we forgetting someone? The cheerleaders!!!

How can we forget the cheerleaders? They are the ones who keep the fans involved in helping to encourage the teams. They spend long hours practicing routines, new moves, drills and all the other skills they have to have to keep the fans attention and pump up the players and crowd!

In the coming weeks, I will be adding more information about cheerleaders, resources, equipment, competitions, drills, skills and spills, so check back often and look for new links and articles or sign up for the basketball newsletter and get it sent straight to your email!

See you on the court!
