KC Cheer Cheer-Abilities Team: Firecrackers
Since our inception in 1999, KC Cheer has been dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for everyone who walks through our doors. This has been a dream of ours since then, and we are excited to finally have the qualified personnel and community interest to add this team to the KC Cheer family. We are looking for boys and girls ages 4 and up to be part of the Firecrackers!
We are excited to begin a new season with Firecrackers! This is our 6th season with our CheerAbilities team at KC Cheer. The goal of this program is to provide athletic training to children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. KC Cheer strives to create a program that gives athletes with special needs the opportunity to develop physical fitness, self-esteem and determination, while experiencing the joy of participating in the social aspects of friendship and teamwork in a safe and encouraging environment. The details of the program can be found HERE.
Team practices will begin on September 16th. Practice will be every Monday at 4:30 p.m. for 45 minutes. Athletes will receive a gym t-shirt at their first practice. There is no monthly tuition but all team members must have an account set up through our Jackrabbit portal for attendance purposes. See below for instructions for registering your athlete.
