What it means to be a Pacific Cheerleader
Pacific cheerleaders are self motivated in all aspects of life. Our athletes have personal drive. They work hard and achieve their goals. Pacific cheerleaders have a positive attitude, are team players and are upstanding role models.

Our Mission
Pacific Cheerleaders Limited strives to help each athlete achieve their goals and reach their potential as a cheerleader and as an individual. Our athletes will learn life skills such as teamwork, responsibility, goal setting, self confidence, trust in their self and others, and leadership. Our goal is to create champions in and out of the gym!

Our Directors

Competitions and Performances Our athletes are trained in readiness for various competitions during the year. During 2009 we attended events in Whangarei, Manukau and Waitakere, with great successes at all of them. We have achieved a National Title in Partner Stunting, and received many Second and Third placings in the various divisions our teams compete in. In 2010 we have more athletes and more teams, so our expectations are for a very successful year. Our teams are ready to add a bit of pizazz to your games or promotions. Our cheerleaders are happy to perform their routines at school events or galas, parades, sporting events, or any social gathering where we can add some colour and excitement. We can even include your name in our Cheer! For information about how to get one of our teams to your event, contact us at – office@pacific-cheer.com and we will be happy to make arrangements.
