Meet the Cheer NY Newbies: Meet Jason

For the second installment of "Meet the Cheer NY Newbies" we are going to delve into the mind of newbie Jason. What did Jason have to say about his tryout experience?

"I came home a few months ago to a postcard about Cheer New York tryouts with a handwritten note from my room mate saying "You would be great at this!" Months later, I found the postcard and thought that it would surely be fun, but because so much time had passed, I figured that I had missed it. However, I called and orientation was the next day. I decided to go.

I was a cheerleader in high school--easily over 15 years ago. Without hesitation, I just thought to myself that I would just go grin and bear it and see what would happen. That first day was hilarious and filled with such positive energy. Although my jumps and flexibility are not really what they used to be, I was quite surprised how quickly it all came back to me. I made the squad! Everyone seems really nice and this is surely going to be an experience. Of course, fundraising is part of the plan, raising money for charity is a big plus."
