I officially feel 🍌 BANANAS after this week. 🤪 Cheer camp is no joke, but watching these athletes grow, laugh, and earn those Top Bananas makes every crazy moment worth it. Now excuse me while I recover… 😂🧡

Church Clap has officially entered the cheer camp playlist. 👏⚡️ Nothing gets the energy up faster than a fun camp energizer that gets every mini cheerleader moving. These are the moments that build confidence, team spirit, and memories they’ll never forget. 🧡📣

Would you believe me if I told you we spent just one hour on cheer pass-offs… And every athlete already knew every cheer?

Seven years of building systems finally paid off.

This was the first season we didn’t spend practice teaching cheers from scratch. Instead, we spent our time cleaning motions, sharpening technique, and making everything game-day ready.

The biggest game changer? I stopped reteaching the same thing every year.

Every one of our cheers is filmed and organized on my YouTube channel, so athletes come to practice already knowing the material. Practice becomes about coaching—not memorizing.

If you’re a coach who’s tired of wasting precious practice time teaching the same cheers over and over, this system will change your program.

🎥 Check out my YouTube channel and start building a library your team can use year after year.

Day 1 of Youth Cheer Camp is officially in the books! 📣✨

We kicked things off with our Bounce sideline dance to get everyone moving, then split into breakout sessions for jumps and stunts so every athlete could get more personalized coaching. 💪

Elementary and junior high wrapped up the day with our Jump Off, plus the moment everyone waits for… 🎉 Spirit Stick reveals and the coveted Top Banana award! 🍌🏆

The energy was incredible, and we’re just getting started. Follow along this week as I take you behind the scenes of how we run one of our favorite fundraisers and cheer camps!

Some mornings are about skills. Some mornings are about character.

“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”

We started today talking about the kind of teammates we want to be and the goals we’re chasing together this season. The best teams don’t just build routines—they build people.

What are your team’s goals this year? 👇

I seriously can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in the works. 💙🧡

Oh, Jeric… 😂

I’m just glad you’re my only boy so I can confidently say you’re my favorite.

This kid keeps us laughing every single day. He’s hilarious, full of personality, and always keeps me on my toes!

And yes… the ending is 100% worth sticking around for. 🤣

POV: You get to spend the day interviewing your cheerleaders. 😂❤️

The confidence, the awkward moments, the bloopers, the SCHAPE conversations, and the letters to their future selves… these are the memories that matter most.

A little SCHAPE refresher never hurts. 🧡
Championship teams don’t just practice skills,
they practice culture.
Every once in a while we stop, reset, and remind ourselves who we are and how we show up for each other. The standard is the standard. 💪
