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 Coaches
Our coaches work to share their love and passion for cheerleading with others. Anyone can teach someone the skills, but it takes someone with real enthusiasm to be an amazing coach and to pass on the excitement and pure enjoyment of cheerleading.

At Pacific Cheerleaders Limited all of our coaches are trained to follow the USASF Rules and Regulations and are taught how to safely coach the skills required for each level before they ever step into coaching that level team or class. All coaches working with school teams are also trained under AACCA, which specializes in school cheerleading programmes and safety. Pacific coaches are required to be first aid certified as well as sports injury certified, which means they will know how to asses injuries as well as how to deal with them.
Our staff work to share their love and passion for cheerleading with others. Anyone can teach someone the skills, but it takes someone with real enthusiasm to be an amazing coach and to pass on the excitement and pure enjoyment of cheerleading.
Our staff maintains an open and a professional relationship with all athletes and parents. All administrative staff and coaches are approachable and available to discuss any problems or concerns. We are here for you!

The PCDA is a not for profit incorporated society which was established to assist its members with some of the costs associated with the sport. The PCDA applies to various organisations for sponsorship and grants and organises various fundraising events during the year to fundraise for the association. We also assist with arranging fundraising for individual members (such as sausage sizzles) to raise funds for their own personal fundraising accounts (which they can use for fees, cheer gear etc).
The PCDA committee are responsible for deciding how the funds are allocated. In 2011 our members received cheer shoes from the US, cheer gear bags, cheer jewellery & other assorted treats. The PCDA also applies for sponsorship and grants to purchase equipment for the gym from time to time.
Throughout the year the PCDA will keep members (and parents) updated via e-mail and newsletters as to what group fundraising events are planned. Members and parents are expected to assist where possible.
