THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE!
At VSC we base our program from our values, these are what we believe to be the most important things
RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE RESULTS
We love to win but it isn’t everything! In our program we believe that when looking back on your cheerleading career long after the dust settles will be a series of memories. The things we look most fondly on are the relationships built and the times spent together both good and bad. Creating a space for strong connections to be made lays the foundation for achieving common goals. Whilst results at competitions remain a crucial part of our measure for success, creating an environment that prioritizes relationships lends itself to long term success and overall improved well being for everyone.
BETTER HUMANS MAKE BETTER ATHLETES
Building our athletes from the inside out will create not only champion athletes but even greater people. We pride ourselves on being a program that is always looking for ways in which we can impact our athletes’ lives for the better. Cheerleading for us is a vessel that we believe can be used to teach the greatest lessons and instill strong values in our athletes. We know that no matter how long the glitz and glam of trophies may hang around, what lasts is the things learnt along the way that count.
HARD WORK BEATS TALENT
At VSC we place a high premium on the mental attributes that require zero talent. Things like – being on time, being coachable, being prepared and having a strong work ethic. We know that these are the things that not only provide exceptional results on the mat but off as well. We provide our athletes with clear expectations which in turn creates strong habits that can be utilized in all aspects of life. Focusing on these mental aspects promotes a growth mindset, enabling the athlete to navigate challenges with a positive outlook and learn from setbacks.
COACH EACH ATHLETE AS THEIR OWN
Despite cheerleading being a team sport, there are many aspects that remain individual. These are attributes such as – strength, flexibility, tumbling, resilience and drive. We have a belief that each athlete has the right to be met on a level they are at and built from there. Our blueprint for success acknowledges that each athlete possesses unique strengths, weaknesses, aspirations and learning styles. It can mould and adapt to ensure each person reaches their maximum potential.
