  1. Welcome KMS CHEER 2019-2020

  2. Agenda • Welcome & Introductions • KMS Cheer Handbook • Fitting Times on April 15th • Important Dates to Remember • Contact Info and Communication Methods

  3. Cheerleaders & Mascots fulfill 2 distinct roles in middle school, high school, and at the University level: • 1.) To engage the crowd in cheering for their Team – focus is on the Team. • 2.) To entertain the crowd at time outs and half times – focus is on the Cheerleader and Mascot. Our goal is to prepare our cheerleaders and mascots to fulfill both roles at a level that will make them a valuable asset to a high school and, eventually, a college. School Cheer 101
