The Story of BCSS Chearleading
We understand the challenges of getting young people to engage is physical activity, especially organised physical activity, and when meeting with Gemma from the Bass Coast Specialist School we brainstormed ideas on how we could not only engage the students but also foster a love for physical activity and movement. It was decided the senior school would continue their journey into the world of Pickleball and middle school students would have the chance to give cheerleading a go.
Cheerleading is more than what you see in the movies, it is a sport for everyone. Cheerleading involves fundamental motor skills, rhythm and encompasses elements from both gymnastics and dance and has a unique way of bringing people together making it the perfect sport for Bass Coast Specialist School students.
Cheerleading is a sport that GippSport had not previously had the chance to offer but with the passion of Emma from the place-based team and the encouragement of Gemma from the Bass Coast Specialist School, we believed GippSport could drive this exciting new experience.
