Cheer Gym
Dear Mr. ____ ,
As a cheerleader and student at Campo Verde, I purpose we add a cheer gym to our growing school. I believe that adding a cheer gym will benefit not only the cheerleaders but also other athletes. Adding a cheer gym to Campo Verde High would create a separate practice space, keep mats in one place, and allow for more practice time.
A cheer gym will create a separate practice space away from everyone else. Currently, the cheerleaders and I practice in the cafeteria. It is unsanitary to practice in there. As we stunt and try new things, the signs are in our way and that can cause a safety hazard. Our coach, Coach Kimi, is constantly up in the front office. She fights for space and practice times for us. We have been stuck in the cafeteria since the beginning of basketball season and we are tired of it. Other athletes complain about us pushing the mats into the mini gym during their practice time.
In order to keep the heavy mats in one place, we should add a cheer gym. The mats take up a decent amount of room in the mini gym, even if they are pushed all the way into the corner. The cheer gym will keep them safe from damage and way from other athletes who do not want to look at them. Some cheerleaders have gotten injured from pushing the mats too far. The distance between the mini gym and the cafeteria is too far to be pushing seven mats back and forth.
Practice time can be more flexible with a cheer gym. Practices would be longer or shorter and on more days. The cheerleaders and I could also practice in the morning without actually having to get into the school. Having longer practices allows more time for stretching and conditioning, which both prevent injuries. Stretching is important because it allows you to loosen up our muscles and become more flexible. Conditioning is important also because it builds up the cheerleader’s stamina and muscles that we need in our routine. With a cheer gym, we will be able to stretch and run to our hearts content.
