I am taking the liberty to hoot and holler here as I announce with pride and delight that Confident Cheerleading won a SITA award this past weekend!!  (more…)

Cheerleading can be expensive and for some squads the costs are truly burdensome.  The Spirit Industry Trade Association (SITA) has a special program called Helping Hand which is designed to assist outstanding squads and coaches who have limited resources or are in immediate crisis.

Each year, teams submit essays describing their situation and current needs. The Helping Hand committee reviews the essays and selects a team to receive a full year of assistance from SITA member companies. Teams are given uniforms, shoes, bags, camp clothes, summer camp, registration for two regional championships, registration to a national championship, and registration for a coach and captain to a coaches’ conference and subscriptions to industry magazines.

This year, as a new SITA member, I am donating my 2-CD package and training program – The Mental Game of Cheerleading: Training for Competitions plus 6 months of Mental Game coaching and consultation.

Do you know a team in need?  Or are you a team in need?  If so, SITA is currently accepting applications for 2010 SITA’s Helping Hand Recipients!   Visit the SITA website for more information.

Applications are due no later than May 15th!
