B

Year, they're getting better and better stronger and stronger we've grown from a team of 14 to 23 in one season. Well,.

C

At the beginning of the season like we all try to like welcoming the new freshmen, because most of us like come back to the team, so we're all really close, so we bond with the freshmen and at the beginning we always do like team bonding, so we're all really close to just kind of like a family.

D

Environment, like we're all super close in school, like we're, not cheering and on this floor. Obviously- and it's just really like refreshing to have like a nice group of girls that looks really close with we.

E

All just like joke around and stuff, and we I don't know I, just love like being around everybody. All.

F

The time I have been on this team since my freshman year at Ball season and I've loved every single year of it, it gets.

E

Like more exciting every year- and they are just like a sisterhood of Seahawks- that's what we say in our cheer last year. So it's amazing to see the bond that they start in the beginning of the season and towards the end of the season. The.

A

Coaches just add to the desire, in being a great flock of Seahawks, there's.

D

Really like motivational like they always encouraged us to keep doing our best and they always like pump us up and if we're having a rough day, they like they're just there for us, go so.

E

The coaches are super close and they treat us like their own kids, so it's like. If we have problems even outside of school, we can go to them for it. They're. Just like we're.

G

All just a big family, so they're, like our mom.

G

A

And enthusiasm of the silver and blue is what they do. I.

H

Do weight training class here at my schools to be like lift weights I know that some girl is like last year. They also did it so and I think some like, though, ease they do other sports. You, like lacrosse field hockey when we're not gonna, have.

C

To eat here after school and stuff, we do other activities like some of us so do like running outside. Like we go ice skating, we'll do like a bunch of like fun stuff that keeps us healthy, I. Think, especially.

F

Meeting new people every year and making new friends every year and like even like new activities like new competitions, just like meeting new people like every year, is, like my favorite part extra.

A

Work staying fit and eating right keep the Hawks flying high I like.

G

A proper diet like vegetables and brews, just like Cuddy like relatively healthy. We.

B

Try to teach them healthy habits and condition, and we warm up every time we stretch. We do everything we can to keep them as healthy as possible and minimize injuries by spotters when we're learning stunts- and you know, teaching them how to catch and try to keep things in the air from falling I mean I, don't want people to get hurt, that's for sure soaring.

A

In the classroom is a top focus for these Seahawks. It's.

D

Just kind of like encouraging everyone again like it's just kind of like you, don't want to be ineligible and you want to be there for your team. We.

H

All just like study and everything and like some girls go it's like coffee shops. We do before school to like even work on their like class working homework.

E

Well, I do let them know that they grades are come number one, so, obviously, all also when they leave practice, they do have to study and make sure that they are getting their homework done and be ready to do those tests, and it's.

C

Really hard with cheerleading, because every single person counts and if, like you're, not there like it's gonna, be really hard. So I try to say like keep your grades up as much like go to school like it's really not that hard to like just go and do your work. These.

A

Hawks are the talk of Anne Arundel County cheer in Edgewater? What's.

E

Very exciting so to see over the past couple years, it's definitely grown as well and, like we said our team has grown for 14 to 20 through this season. So of course it's we always like to continue growing our routine, which helps of the crowd, get involved.

H

Oh, my Garf family and everything just really get pumped up so I would like the posters and like maracas and everything. So it's.

D

Fun, it's really exciting because, like we have people cheering us on and it's just like we cheer on like the football players and the basketball players, so it's nice to have people cheering. That's all.

B

It's wonderful to see our football players come in and support them during counties and that competitions, and vice versa, even like when they're playing videos on snap and their people are recording they'll actually get cheerleading in there also and showed them stunting, and things too, even though they're actually promoting their own sport. Thanks.
