Question
Hey, my name is Kayla and I'm planning on starting a cheerleading team in a elementary school that is close to my house i have know idea where to begin but i really want to do this. I've been cheering for for 3 years and I'm on the Niagara LadyKats
can you place help me
i really want this to work out

Answer
Hi Kayla,

   The first thing to do is to go to the school officials and see if this is something that they are going to let you do. Then you need to find a staff member that will be your advisor. Then, you can go about recruiting kids, raising money for uniforms, etc. and then you start cheering! Good Luck!
Happy Cheering!
