THREE CHEERS FOR CHEER KIDDIE CLINIC: Last week the McCallum cheer team held their annual kiddie clinic, offering aspiring cheerleaders from kindergarten to eighth grade the opportunity to hone their skills, perfect routines and learn cheers through a variety of activities. 

“We taught them different games we play at football games and we stunted them,” senior captain Hannah Van Houten said. “For crafts we did various cheer related crafts like making mini megaphones or making spirit posters. And then for cheer and dance we taught them all the things they needed to know for the show off at the end of the camp.” 

The aforementioned show off was the grand finale of the clinic, which Van Houten saw as a major success. 

“All the kids learned their cheers and dances really well,” Van Houten said. “We did our show off in the small theater so all the kids got to be up on stage and the parents came to watch [them] perform.” 

Van Houten and her co-captains were responsible for planning the clinic’s logistics but it was a team effort to pull off the week-long event.

“When it came to actually taking care of the kids, all of the cheerleaders were so helpful and we definitely had to work together to make the clinic run smoothly,” Van Houten said.

Van Houten sees the collective commitment and efficiency from kiddie clinic as a positive sign for the upcoming football season.

“Our team has been having lots of practice to prepare,” Van Houten said. “And I think the kiddie clinic just ensured that we all work really well together and are excited to spend more time as a team at football games.”
