Cheer Force Arkansas<br />

Cheer Force Arkansas held their 21st<br />

season showcase at Buzz Bolding Arena<br />

on November 3, <strong>2018</strong>. Almost 200<br />

athletes and 16 strong teams for Cheer<br />

Force took the floor to perform their<br />

routines for the fans and judges. There<br />

were also special guest routines from<br />

Sparklers Cheer Classes, Sparkle and<br />

Shine, Storks Parent team, and a Coaches<br />

routine to end the day!<br />

“Our main goal for all of our athletes<br />

is to have fun, work hard, and feel good<br />

about their routine once they are done<br />

performing.” Toya MCleod, Director of<br />

Cheer Force Arkansas. These athletes<br />

work hard all year and then perform<br />

in different states such as Texas,<br />

Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Missouri,<br />

and of course Arkansas just to name few.<br />

“What‚Äôs so great about this sport<br />

is that it teaches you important lessons,<br />

positive characteristics , and so much<br />

more than just a back handspring. It<br />

teaches athletes team work, it helps grow<br />

confidence, it teaches fitness and good<br />

health, it teaches strong work ethic, it<br />

teaches compassion and so much more.<br />

We are not just teaching athletes how to<br />

cheer at Cheer Force Arkansas, we are<br />

teaching them life lessons and how to<br />

grow as people.” Toya McLeod, Director<br />

of Cheer Force Arkansas<br />
