Moms and dads were also in mind throughout the planning of the event, as Emmart and her team wanted to create a judgement-free zone where parents could feel comfortable if their child needed to take a break, adjust their learning style or take time to process the information. As it turned out, the participants had big smiles on their faces throughout the clinic, as did their cheerleader mentors, and they could not get enough of the thoughtfully taught lessons. “I can’t help but think of some of these moms and keep them in mind too because my heart goes out to them. They should be able to experience things with their kids no matter what,” Emmart said. A coloring station was set up for participants to visit any time they needed a pause from the action, and parents of the cheer team athletes were on hand throughout the event to help check people in and organize the toy drive. While the fundamentals of cheer were at the heart of the clinic, so were lessons of teamwork and good sportsmanship, which are cornerstones of the LW Central cheer program. Senior cheerleader and New Lenox resident Sophia Gambino has been cheering for almost a decade. She said what she loves most about the sport is the camaraderie of the team. “It’s been really special especially with our coach. She came in with the program and has created a great atmosphere,” Gambino said. “Everyone is so supportive of each other outside of school, in cheer and with schoolwork and everything. It’s just a great atmosphere.” Following this year’s inaugural Special Olympics Cheer Clinic and Toys for Tots Toy Drive, the LW Central cheer program staff and athletes plan to “absolutely” offer it again in the future.
