Help! It's Summer!

Help! It's summer, and the holidays without cheer reality is setting in for my cheerleader. Quick panic, what do we do??!!!!

OK, breathe. It's OK not to be doing the cheer run for a few weeks, its alright that I feel like I am constantly missing something 5 days of the week, IT'S SUMMER!

We all feel like this don't we? Our beloved squad have just competed their last competition of the season, ICC Summer Jam, and I know that I am biased but WE SMASHED IT! Every team left their heart on the floor, and our little tiny team, well, lets just say the next generation of Panache is EXPLOSIVE!

So now after the high of the last competition of the 18/19 series, we all get a well deserved rest. So what is everyone doing? How are you filling the training time over the next few weeks? (seriously, I need the ideas, comments appreciated! haha) Are your cheerleaders enjoying the rest, or climbing the walls already?!

Over the years we have filled this time with trips to open gyms, trampoline parks, squad meet ups at the park, or swimming, sleepovers, basically anything we can do where the girls can meet up and have fun together.

It is also a good excuse to meet with your cheer mum squad.

We all have friends from cheer that over the years turn into a second family. Those ladies that you automatically sit with at competition, who's children you scream for as loud as you do for your own, who are there when things go wrong and right! I am very, very lucky to have some fabulous cheer mum friends, who are present for me not just at cheer but outside our glitter filled bubble too! One in particular who I cant get through a day without a text, snapchat or phonecall!

So on that note, keep going, lean on your cheer mum squad, don't give up, you will get there! Remember, its only once a year!
