RAGE All-Star Cheer has been a fantastic experience for our entire family. We joined shortly after moving to Burlington as an activity to help our oldest daughter transition. She has made wonderful friends, gained self-esteem and has learned that hard work pays off. It's also great for her physical health and abilities. When she joined she couldn't do a cartwheel. Now, she's working on a back-handspring! Our extended family enjoys going to competitions...it's so exciting to see how all the girl's skills improve over the course of one season. We've all made such good friends with the other families; they are supportive of not just the other cheerleaders but their families, too. And, we just can't say enough about Coach Ryan. She's fantastic with all the girls. She motivates them and has just as much pride for a girl learning to do a backbend as she does for a girl getting a complicated tumbling move. RAGE may be a cheer team but it is an entire family experience! (Jennifer H. - RAGE mom) We have introduced our daughter to many activities, drove many miles, paid whatever it was to find what it was she would click with. From violin lessons to tennis to karate and anything in between, but nothing would keep her interest. She always finished the session with “yes it was fun but I don’t want to do it again”. We tried a small class that introduced her to cheerleading taught by Coach Dawn. She was intrigued by it so when tryouts for RAGE came along, we thought why not. Holy cow…she made the squad!!! We were all very excited. The first competition of the first season came and I was so nervous. She had always been embarrassed to be in the spot light. The squad came out on the floor, the music started, the routine was fantastic, and she finished with so much pride oozing out of her. That was it, she was hooked. When the first season was over I asked if she would want to tryout again. “Definitely!” was how she responded. I asked her if she would like to look at other squads, she said “If it wasn’t RAGE, it wasn’t cheer", and she wouldn’t do it. Three years later she is still loving cheerleading. She has learned so much about working together, and trusting in her teammates. She has gained so much confidence. She has learned what it feels like to win first place, and how hard she has to work to stay there. She has learned what defeat is and that it isn’t just one person making a mistake but the entire squad as a whole. I joke sometimes saying “the only way I could keep her from cheerleading is to lock her in the closet.” She loves the sport, the team, the coaches, the excitement, and I love that she loves it so much. (Kerrie A. – RAGE mom, and proud of it!!)
