Instead of 16 cheerleaders, two squads will give about 30 girls the opportunity to cheer. You want every girl to make it, but it just can't happen that way,'' Day said. The success of the cheerleading program at Oconee Middle has spurred the interest of many young girls. We started off very small and very low key. We did some school spirit things to get it going.
Day loves the task.
Other than that, it's just my love of it. I keep well informed and I go to competitions all over the country and to the Florida nationals in March to see what new stuff is going on and what other squads are doing. You teach them everything. All the basics. All the fundamentals and watch them grow throughout the year.
