ABOUT US 

Cheer for All. Confidence for Life.

At Sideline Cheer, we believe in creating a cheerleading program where everyone belongs. Our mission is to bring kids together to form inclusive teams where every aspiring cheerleader has a place to shine—no experience necessary!

We take pride in supporting our local community and spreading the spirit at local sports events. But beyond the pom-poms and cheers, our program is all about building confidence, setting goals, overcoming challenges, and learning the value of teamwork.

Our goal is simple: to create a passionate, supportive environment where young athletes can discover their love for cheer—and themselves.

~ IN YOUTH CHEERLEADING, I DON'T JUST WITNESS STUNTS AND SPIRITS - I SEE CONFIDENCE RISE, STRENGTH GROW, AND KIDS BECOME PROUD OF WHO THEY ARE. TRYING YOUR BEST AND GROWING STRONGER EACH DAY... THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU A TRUE WINNER ~

Stacey Chadwick

 

With a strong background in exercise training and nutrition certifications, I bring a holistic approach to cheer coaching. As a women’s life coach, I love helping girls and teens believe in themselves and feel confident in their own skin. The thing I enjoy most about coaching cheer is watching the girls gain new skills and grow in confidence throughout the year.

As Rikki Rogers says, “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.” Together, we celebrate every step of that journey.
