Kids attend the LBHS Cheer Clinic
Future cheerleaders from the ages of kindergarten through eighth grade joined the LBHS cheer squad at the Laguna Beach Cheer Clinic at Dugger Gym. During the clinic, attendees learned chants, cheers, a dance and tie-dyed T-shirts.
Cheerleader Chloe Gabora, a sophomore, says, “Not only do the kids have fun, but we cheerleaders love doing the cheer clinic as well. We love forming bonds with the future LBHS Cheerleaders as well as getting a chance to give them their first LBHS Cheer experience. After working hard on learning cheers, dances, kicks, and jumps, it is so great seeing the happiness in their faces while performing with us.”
“I had fun helping the younger girls learn our LBHS cheers. I really enjoyed spending time with them and watching them grow as athletes. I love how happy they were when they were cheering at the game,” says Cheerleader Isabella Lyons, also a sophomore.

The response from the attendees was enthusiastic. Cayden Dancey says, “I loved cheering next to the big girls and getting to hold their pom-poms!”
And her friend Emi Tamura agreed. “I loved learning all of the different cheers!”
Parent response was positive as well.
“This was my daughter’s first year attending the LBHS Cheer Clinic and she loved every minute! The clinic was very well organized with the nicest staff and the sweetest cheerleaders. It was a Saturday full of fun activities, making memories with old and new friends and learning the cutest cheers to perform at the football game. On game day, they all had a blast being down on the field with the crowd cheering them on. Cheering at the game made her even more excited to be a future Breaker Cheerleader. We had such a great experience and look forward to the next cheer clinic!” says CC Dancey.
On the Friday night after the clinic, the kids joined the LBHS cheerleaders on the field for the football game against Ocean View and performed for hundreds of fans in the stands. It was a fun night for all involved, and to top it off, LBHS football team won the game.

Head Cheer Coach Mike Burns says, “What a fantastic weekend we had at our annual cheer kids clinic! With only a few weeks to promote, we were able to teach one of our biggest groups of little cheerleaders yet. Between the upbeat cheers, and chants full of spirit, the kids and the Laguna cheerleaders had so much fun! Make sure to join us during our next clinic in the spring, where the little cheerleaders will be able to cheer with the Breakers at an LBHS basketball game! It’s an event you won’t want to miss.”
Dates and details of the next clinic will be published as soon as they are available.
