The purpose of cheerleading is to promote and uphold school spirit, to support and encourage all school teams, to develop a sense of good sportsmanship among students, to improve the student morale, to build better relationships between competing schools, to be ambassadors to the community and to Christ Jesus and to establish the high personal ideals and good character expected of a college cheerleader in order to be a role model for peers and other skilled cheerleaders in the Southern Wesleyan University.

As SWU Cheerleaders we have a philosophy is that performing is a secondary role of cheerleading and can effectively promote school spirit when included at appropriate times. cheer competition, like cheerleading should serve to develop leadership, confidence and confidence. Christian cheerleaders are skilled athletes and should never take a back seat to anyone else in their excellence..."for ye serve the Lord Christ." cheerleaders should be leaders/examples in their christian testimony to the student body in all situations, not just athletic events.A team atmosphere supplements the secondary curricular program and provides students with educational experiences and learning outcomes that contribute toward the total development of a whole person, a good Christian and a good citizen. Every program, including all camps and competitions, at christian cheerleader of America adhere to this philosophy.

If you would like to start a club cheer program here at SWU I would love for you to sign this petition so we can get this program started and we can cheer for our sports teams and compete state in different county, state, and maybe even national level.
