Cheerleading in Michigan




Competitive Cheer is the fastest growing Girls sport in the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA). The sport is growing in popularity with high school students and with fans, drawing a large enough crowd to fill the DeltaPlex in Grand Rapids for State Finals. All cheer eyes will be on the Regional Competitions happening this Saturday. Region 6 will host many local powerhouse teams from the Kalamazoo area, and will be a tight race to state! My eyes will be on the Wyoming Park regional since that is where I have been selected to officiate. Have you ever considered becoming a part of high school athletics? If so, there are many opportunities for you! Registered officials and coaches have the opportunity to promote educational athletics and be part of a team. The library has many resources for sports, including wonderful new additions to the Cheerleading section. My favorites include American Cheerleader magazine in the Central Teen Collection and Complete Cheerleading by Justin Carrier and Donna Mckay. If you are a coach, official, parent, athlete or fan, you will find the materials you need to help you succeed in high school athletics at KPL!

What a cool posting, Jill, and link to You Tube. It is very generous of you to be so involved in high school sports without high school age kids. We need more involved adults like you.
