Local cheer teams showcase their skills
When most people thinking of cheerleader’s pom-poms, football games come to mind, but a recent event is showing another side to the activity.
An All-star cheerleading event was on display at the Field House in North Battleford Saturday April 30.
“In the cheerleading world there are two different streams of cheerleading,” said Lesia Rathje, owner and operator of Cheer Legacy Athletics in North Battleford. “There’s school cheerleading which would be high school or university and then there’s all-star cheerleading.”
All-star cheerleading are clubs that offer classes and teams, away from school. Clubs like Cheer Legacy Athletics do not go to sports games, they train year-round for competitions.
