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 />
