Flagler Palm Coast High School varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders held a cheer clinic at FPC’s gym on Saturday, Feb. 16. There were 40 participants of various ages and skill levels. Cheerleaders and coaches taught cheers, jumps, dances, tumbling and stunts. Participants were grouped by age and progressed according to skill level, which enabled each child to learn and grow in their individual skills. At the end of the three-hour clinic, the FPC cheerleaders and participants held a performance for parents to showcase their new skills.

Flagler Palm Coast High School Cheerleaders hold cheer clinics twice a year. Those interested in future clinics or sponsorships may contact [email protected].

The coaches are Wendy Wright (head, varsity and competitive), Sara Belak (junior varsity and competitive coach) and Melodie Lewis (basketball cheer coach).
