Avon Indiana Sports | Avon Youth Sports (AYS) CHEER IS CHANGING THE ATMOSPHERE!
There is something to be said when we have someone in our corner, cheering for us, and knowing we are supported. The Avon Youth Sports Cheer program brings true team spirit to the game and the atmosphere instantly changes. The 2023 AYS All-Star Cheer team cheered for a few of the Jr. Orioles football games last season. Sarah Osmundsen, AYS Rec. Cheer Commissioner and AYS Jr. Orioles Travel Cheer Commissioner, Reva Mackey recalled that the “cheerleaders really added to the game-day experience last year.” Mackey shared that this was “just what the football team needed in closing the gap.” Reva was previously the 2023 All-Star Cheer Coach. The All-Star program will be transitioning into a new travel cheer offering, of which she will be the 2024 Commissioner of. It became apparent following the Fall 2023 All-Star season that there was a need for a more advanced cheer offering.
AYS leadership also recognized this need, and we will be offering Jr. Orioles Cheer this Fall for 4th – 8th graders. Cheerleaders will have an opportunity to cheer for the Jr. Orioles Travel Football team in various locations, as travel is required. Registration to try-out will be available through May 7th at avonindiana.gov/sports. There will be a workshop on May 8th and cheer try-outs will be on May 10th. Anyone who doesn’t make the Jr. Orioles Cheer Team is invited to participate in Fall AYS Rec. Cheer to continue developing their skills. One of the goals of AYS Cheer leadership is to have “vertical alignment” starting with the youth program all the way up to High School Cheer. AYS Cheer Commissioner, Sarah Osmundsen’s goal is to have a cohesive cheer program like “interlocking chains.” She is excited to work on the first building block, which is Rec. Cheer, as these programs “prepare them for Middle School or High School Cheer.”
