We all learn and understand differently so we have developed a coaching style that combines each of these methods in order to provide an equal-opportunity learning environment for all of our athletes.

All our coaches are credentialed at minimum to the level that they coach at. In addition to this, they have completed all the Cheer Manitoba Coaching requirements:

  1. First Aid & CPR Training

  2. Membership with Cheer Canada and Cheer Manitoba

  3. Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Search

  4. Child Abuse Registry Check

  5. Respect in Sport

  6. Concussion Training

  7. NCCP Making Ethical Decisions Course.
