SYSO CHEER Mission
All of our children should be allowed to develop a love for each sport they participate in while also learning the value of sportsmanship. With this in mind, SYSO Cheer firmly believes that all parents and coaches play an important role in our programs, and that young athletes learn valuable lessons by watching the behaviors and attitudes of the adults who supervise their activities. Conversely, SYSO Cheer also recognizes that sports are competitive by nature. Therefore, the SYSO Cheer Executive Board pledges to create a positive learning experience where our children learn the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship, while at the same time learn to cheer, tumble, dance, and respect the sport.
SYSO CHEER Philosophy
Cheerleading is a team sport that maximizes each individual athlete’s potential. The Somers Youth Cheer program encourages working collaboratively to build spirit, pride, and sportsmanship throughout our town. The Somers Youth Cheer program is part of the Taconic Youth Football and Cheer league and will follow all applicable rules and regulations.
