2023 Crozet Sports Youth Competitive Cheer Program 

Crozet Sports Youth Competitive Cheer Program

 
 

Crozet Sports Cheerleading is dedicated to bring an elite recreational cheerleading program to the Crozet community to train strong, confident all-American cheerleaders for the Western Albemarle Cheerleading program. In addition to developing a large game-day presence for the Western Warriors Jefferson District Youth Football League (JDYFL), we aim to offer competitive cheerleading to increase our performance level. Our vision is to expand the rec cheer program to offer various competition levels for various age groups (K-8th) to easily transition and prepare our cheerleaders to be top-performing athletes by the time they transition to the high school program.  Our program is dedicated to meeting the desires of kids of all ages from those just wanting to try it out to those who are already dreaming of that Nationals trophy! 

 

 

Competition Style

There are many types of competitive cheerleading – all-star, school, and recreational. We will be participating in traditional recreational cheer competitions. This involves a minute and a half routine to music – including jumps, stunts, and tumbling – with a minute devoted to a crowd-leading cheer with signs and poms. For the ’23-’24 season, we will be competing in the level 1 division. As the program evolves and grows, we will offer teams at higher levels and will split ages.
Brielle Shope, Head Cheerleading Coach

 

As the Crozet Sports head cheerleading coach, Brielle Shope has a passion to bring a thriving cheerleading program to the Crozet community to engage kids of all ages and train strong, confident all-American cheerleaders. Her ultimate goal is to build a sustainable feeder program for Western Ablemarle Cheerleading. Brielle is a former collegiate cheerleader from Taylor University, where she founded and lead the team as captain. Growing up in the Center Grove school system (Greenwood, IN) with a strong football and cheerleading program, Brielle has invaluable experiences to help guide her to success. Brielle is excited to be investing in the future cheerleaders of our community and hopeful to culture a positive impact on the town of Crozet!
