Thank You & Congratulations to Milton Youth Cheer – Our October Winners!
Milton Youth Cheer is an exciting way to provide the youth of Milton an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of cheerleading and teamwork. We strive to teach the young athletes how to work together towards a common goal, support each other through teamwork and camaraderie, and build confidence and strength. We focus on building character, self-confidence, teaching responsibility, athletic skills, and positivity in a competitive environment while gaining a strong sense of community. Our cheerleaders learn that time, effort, physical training, attendance and participation in practice makes the team strong and well-prepared. Mastering the skills required to succeed instills pride, self-respect, the will to win, and the courage to accept defeat when necessary. All this occurs with a constant emphasis on sportsmanship.
