Cheerleading Coaching Tip: How to Motivate Your Cheerleading Team

Are your looking for some great tips to motivate your cheerleading team?  Here are some tips to try:

1. Set your goals together as a team! At your first team meeting, have everyone give their ideas on what you would like to accomplish as a team.  Once you have a list, have the team vote on them then pick your top 3 to 5 for the season.  Goals can include:

• • Stunt Goals
  • Attending a Competition
  • Community Service Goals
  • School Spirit / Involvement Goals
  • Pep Rally Attendance
  • Fundraising Goals

2. Once you have your top goals for the season, discuss as a team, what the PLAN is and the steps you are going to take to achieve that goal.
3. Make a Goals Chart or Vision Board so the girls can visually see what they have set and the progress they have made.
4. At the beginning of every practice, remind your team of the goals THEY have set for themselves and talk about progress.
5. REWARD the team for their progress.
6. Give encouragement! Everyone loves recognition for their hard work 🙂
   
7. Do Team Building Activities to strengthen relationships on the team.
8. Make sure practice is FUN! This can include theme practices and games.
9. Set up Cheer Pals within the team or Big Sister and Little Sister pairs.
