Our Cheerleaders are crowd leaders, spirit raisers, athletes and ambassadors of Robious Buccaneers pride and tradition! Regardless of skillset or experience, our goals are simple.

BUILD CHARACTER: Recreational cheer is a great starter for youth to find their voice and build character. We want your child to love cheer because it is fun, and they feel confident! During practices we rotate cheer captains and leaders. Additionally, ice breaker games and friendly competitions give each child a purpose and sense of belonging.

BE UNIFIED AND WORK TOGETHER: Whether in stunts or sideline cheering, this sport is all about working together as a team! We encourage our cheerleaders to build their own character while not forgetting the character of others. We have leaders and followers; each are especially important to encourage each other to be the best they can…. whether they are the loudest cheerleader or the quietest!

DEVELOP CHEERLEADING SKILLS SO ATHLETES ARE READY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL TRYOUTS: Cheerleading has changed so much since most of us were young! Now, cheerleaders are expected to tumble and be able to perform complex stunts and routines. Our program will provide training in all areas, so your child is well prepared for middle school tryouts. In addition to our experienced coaching staff, we utilize local cheer gyms for extra training and conditioning.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, BE SAFE: Cheerleading can be dangerous if the proper safety measures are not in place. All our coaches have completed training in safety protocol, emergency awareness and obtained their Chesterfield County Coaches Card. Additionally, please ensure your child follows these important safety rules:

• No jewelry is allowed at practices or games. Stud earrings should have a band aid covering the area.

• Athletic shoes should be worn at all times.

• Hair should be pulled back and out of the face.

• Horseplay is not allowed while stunting.

• Drop Off/Pick Up: We do not allow children to run off the field to their car during drop off or pickup. There are many parents dropping off/picking up at the same time. Children and drivers don't always pay attention. Please either park your car, walk your child to practice, or drive directly to the practice area for drop off/pick up.
