SIRENS CHEERLEADERS 2020

GENERAL INFORMATION


DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Thank you for considering joining the Sirens Cheerleaders family in 2020. Our primary mission is to create a

positive, supportive and safe environment where athletes can learn the sport of cheerleading, tumbling and dance and develop their athleticism and personal skills such as confidence, resilience, team work and

discipline.

Sirens Cheerleaders was founded with a strong focus on culture, to ensure our success in growing many happy, healthy athletes in a great atmosphere. Every member of our family is expected to adopt and espouse

our four values: positivity, supportiveness, enthusiasm and commitment, so everybody can enjoy our wonderful sport and make Sirens Cheerleaders their home.

In 2020 we will continue our successful focus on ‘quality’. Our competitive teams are level-appropriate, our coaches experienced, extremely dedicated and fully accredited. With over 60 years of combined coaching

experience, we offer a wealth of experience to all our athletes. We maintain and expect high standards for ourselves and our club.

In addition to our highly successful competitive and semi-competitive program, we also have an extensive recreational program and we have a variety of options available to choose from. We welcome all newcomers and love seeing new people in our gym.

In January 2020 we are proud and excited to be moving to a brand new gym with much more room and even

better facilities! We will have 2 fully sprung floors, a dance area, a 12m tumble trampoline, reception area, athlete breakout areas and more!

For enquiries please email me or Sirens Admin Officer, Megan and we will be happy to help. This pack will help you decide whether you would like to join us as a recreational, semi-competitive or competitive athlete.

Sirens Cheerleaders is on an amazing journey with skilled and fun teams, safe progressions and huge success

at competitions around Australia. We are the only ACT cheer program to take athletes to multiple overseas competitions. In 2019 we won 4 bids and competed four times, at the prestigious bid-only ‘AASCF Australasian Pinnacle’ competition. We gained 5 AASCF National Champion titles and 9 out of the 10 cheer

teams we sent to Nationals placed in the top 4 competing against the best cheer clubs in the country.

As gym owner, I am never too busy to take your call or answer any questions and love getting to know all our Sirens families and I would love to meet new families who share our values and would like to join in the fun.

*DAYTIME TINY TOTS AND PRESCHOOL GYMNASTICS PROGRAM SEE ABOVE TIMES FOR MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS HIGHLIGHTED

IN YELLOW*


3. CLASS DESCRIPTIONS AND AGE CATEGORIES

Our gym has fully sprung floors, tumble trampoline and other specialised equipment for cheerleading,

tumbling and gymnastics.

COMPETITIVE CHEER: Involves learning a fast-paced routine set to music, incorporating motions, dance, tumbling, jumps, stunts

and pyramids. Competitive teams require serious commitment, the expectations are high and placement is via team placements or personal consultation with the Gym Owner. You must be available for all

competitions and attendance at weekly trainings is compulsory.

We pride ourselves on high quality coaching and creating competitive, skilled, committed and happy athletes. As such our expectations for our competitive athletes reflect this. Competitive cheer teams train

two to three times weekly with an additional specialized tumbling class recommended. Dance teams and adult cheer teams train once weekly. These teams compete at several local and interstate competitions

including NSW competitions and AASCF Nationals at the Gold Coast.

Age groups and teams will be dependent on 2020 enrolments – all ages.

SEMI-COMPETITIVE CHEER: This program allows athletes to get a taste of cheerleading and all the excitement it has to offer with only

once a week training sessions (or two shorter sessions for tiny and mini age group) and 3 competitions per year (2 local, one in Sydney). Athletes get all our expert tuition from our qualified and enthusiastic coaches as well as learn and master the cheer techniques of stunting and tumbling without the training and travel

commitment level of a full competitive schedule. This is great for athletes and families that want more than a recreational class without the added training sessions. Age groups/teams will be dependent on enrolments, 7-18yrs.

CHEERSPORT

Cheersport is new to Sirens in 2020 and provides new and current athletes with an added option to enjoy the sport they love. Cheersport is competitive however the scorecard has been modified and the grading scale is different to all-star cheerleading. The time commitment is significantly less than all-star cheer so it

can be enjoyed as an added extra for our competitive cheerleaders who want to do more and increase their skills and also as a new low time commitment option new for families. Placement is via consultation and assessment so contact us for more information!

RECREATIONAL CHEER

Learn the basics of this exciting sport without the pressure of competition. This class is great if you want to get strong, fit and more flexible with a program tailored to cheerleading technique.

commit to a competitive squad and just want to have some fun, get strong and fit with no attendance
