7-year-old Charlie and her mom Alyssa got to spend some time at a cheer competition this weekend with Phoenix Cheer.  Time together as a team was already special, but they capped their weekend together off with a win, taking first place in their division!

Charlie has been part of the Phoenix cheerleading team for a couple of years already and was really excited about coming in first in a competition over the weekend.  What does she enjoy most about cheerleading? 'I like my friendships and I like being flexible.' 

There you have it...friendships and flexibility!  

And her mom Alyssa is also proud of the team's accomplishment. 'It was pretty incredible to watch them come in first and to see that their hard work paid off.'  After a long period of time with limited competition and gathering opportunities, Alyssa said, 'it was great to see the team run around the event, and just be free to be themselves and enjoy each other's company again.'

Both Charlie and Alyssa are thankful for Phoenix Cheer.  Alyssa says, 'they are incredible, they have such great coaches and organization. They just constantly have something on the go, new classes, new activities, and a great way to get all the kids involved with each other as well.  I can't say enough about them. They are just awesome.'

We think the Phoenix Cheer team is awesome too! Congratulations on your bid win this last weekend!
