Xplosion Cheerleading's primary goal, is to create
permanent Special Needs Cheerleading Team,
ages 6 to 18, staffed by certified cheer and special
needs volunteers, that, year after year, will provide
a cheerleading opportunity to any interested child
with special needs.
During the Sparklers practices, our focus will be on
having fun, while learning new skills.
Each practice, they will also learn team games,
that will help with counting and staying on beat,
and, also, bond with each other and the volunteers.

The Special Olympics organization says it best:
Children with disabilities who participate in cheerleading
as a Special Olympic Sport, develop improved physical
fitness and motor skills, greater self confidence and
a more positive self image. They grow mentally and
socially through their activities, exhibit boundless courage
and enthusiasm, enjoy rewards of friendship and
ultimately discover not only new abilities and talent,
but "their voice" as well.
Cheerleading is wonderful exercise: it offers, aerobic
stamina, strength, balance, rhythm and flexibility.
