Kentucky Christian Joins CCA
February 11, 2019
The Kentucky Christian University cheer program is proud to announce they have aligned with the Christian Cheerleaders of America. CCA aspires to use cheer to develop the following attributes:
Individual Goals
- to teach "state of the art" cheerleading techniques, material, and methods while maintaining Christian standards…being "contemporary without compromise"
- to promote and require academic excellence among cheerleaders as well as all other athletes
- to develop, advise and educate cheerleaders and cheerleader coaches on safety guidelines and techniques
- to inform, unite and excite cheerleaders and their coaches by newsletters, meetings, competitions, networking
- to reward and recognize outstanding achievers both individually and as teams via competitions, scholarships, publishing, etc.
- to encourage by fellowship, communication, and training for coaches desiring knowledge and expertise in all aspects of cheerleading
- to recognize cheerleaders as the athletes they are and the coaches who train them as such
- to encourage and promote creativity and enthusiasm with a "be the best that you can be" attitude
- most important of all to give our Lord Jesus Christ preeminence in all we do to Build PEOPLE Before PYRAMIDS
- As with everything in the Christian life, GOD'S WORD & THE LEADERSHIP OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT are the guiding principles by which we live. Cheerleading is no exception.
Team Goals
- PERFORMING is a SECONDARY ROLE of cheerleading and can effectively promote school spirit when included at appropriate times.
- CHEER COMPETITION, like cheerleading, SHOULD SERVE TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP, CONFIDENCE, and SKILL
- Christian cheerleaders are skilled athletes and should never take a back seat to anyone else in their excellence… "for ye serve the Lord Christ."
- CHEERLEADERS SHOULD BE LEADERS/EXAMPLES IN THEIR CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY to the student body in all situations, not just athletic events.
- A TEAM ATMOSPHERE supplements the secondary curricular program and provides students with educational experiences and learning outcomes that contribute toward the total development of a whole person, a good Christian, and a good citizen.
