Rockstar Cheer

 This year Kassidy is trying something new...Competition Cheerleading!  Keith works with a guy who has a high school daughter involved in this.  They invited Kassidy out to Furman University last year to watch a competition.  Needless to say, she was hooked:)  Try-outs were in May and she's been tumbling twice/week most of the summer.  They have team practices, too, and will learn their choreography this Saturday.  Here's Kassidy practicing some jumps, back bends, walking in a back bend, cartwheel, and handstand.  She has made great progress in all of these skills!!!

 Her favorite part of Cheerleading so far are definitely the stunts.  In the beginning they focused on just 2 person stunts but have since moved onto group stunts involving as many as 5-6 people.  She's been a flyer and a base and likes them both.

 

It's very hard to get pics from the viewing area, especially if they're not right in front of me.  But, I will try to get some more soon so you can see the progress.  Competitions start in January and run through May.  Kassidy is very excited about this new venture:)  It's a lot of hard work but she's doing a great job!!!  She's even made some new friends:)
