Cardinal Kids Cheer Camp


Here come the Cardinal Cheerleaders of tomorrow ready to cheer the Cards on to victory. At the football game on the 9th against Clark/Willow Lake, 15 of Deuel School's 4th through 8th grade girls took center field at halftime to show off their cheerleading skills after two days of practicing at a mini cheer camp.

On the Wednesday and Thursday before the game, the girls met after school for about an hour to learn a dance and cheer. Football and Basketball cheerleading coach Sheila Monnier said, “ This is an opportunity for the kids to see what cheerleading is like.” The cost of the camp was $20 per child, and the money brought in from this camp went toward t-shirts, and future cheerleading camps in the summer. “I think they did a really awesome job this year, even though the weather wasn't very nice,” says Monnier about how the girls did at their performance.

When asked what advice she'd give younger girls thinking about going out for cheerleading in the future freshman football and basketball cheerleader Brandi Barondeau said, “Go out for the camps, and work as hard as you can. If your not sure, go out for it anyways, and try it because it's so much fun!”
