team performances and crowd support:

Athletes have two jobs at every competition - 1) Perform to the best of their ability and uphold all team responsibilities. 2) Cheer on ALL KC Cheer teams that do not conflict with their team performance.

KC Cheer parents, athletes and fans were so great at our last competition! Let’s keep it up at NCA! Parents do not ask your athlete to leave when they know they are supposed to be supporting our KC Cheer athletes. These opportunities for team building are rare and the more support our athletes get from the crowd the better they perform. Reward them for all their hard work and show your support by BEING their biggest FAN! We’d love to see our crowd in KC CHEER GEAR!!! Support your athlete, their team and all KC Cheer on your athletes! GYM UNITY GOES A LONG WAY!
