Christian Cheerleaders of America (CCA) is a sports ministry using the vehicle of Cheerleading to evangelize and disciple young people for Jesus Christ.
The Goals of CCA

- to promote and require academic excellence among cheerleaders as well as all other athletes
- to develop, advise and educate cheerleaders and cheerleader coaches on safety guidelines and techniques
- to inform, unite and excite cheerleaders and their coaches by newsletters, meetings, competitions, networking
- to reward and recognize outstanding achievers both individually and as teams via competitions, scholarships, publishing, etc.
- to encourage by fellowship, communication and training for coaches desiring knowledge and expertise in all aspects of cheerleading

- to encourage and promote creativity and enthusiasm with a “be the best that you can be” attitude
- most important of all to give our Lord Jesus Christ preeminence in all we do
- to Build PEOPLE Before PYRAMIDS
As with everything in the Christian life, GOD’S WORD & THE LEADERSHIP OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT
are the guiding principles we live by. Cheerleading is no exception.

Did you ever think very much about C H E E R L E A D E R S?
Probably not. Just a bunch of airheads, making a lot of noise, interrupting you while you are trying to watch a game!
Cheerleaders do get a bad rap, and unfortunately in today’s society, sometimes they deserve it. Some cheer teams have moved away from their central purpose and become either sex symbols or obsessed with competing. This is sad, the true purpose of cheerleading is to be a really awesome source of spirit and support, when done correctly this can make a big difference in the morale, spirit and sportsmanship of a ball game. As a matter of fact, cheerleaders can ultimately change the outcome of a game as they get the crowd involved and the team pumped up so much so that they start to change the way they play!
Don’t we all need our own personal CHEERLEADER once in awhile? Sometimes life overwhelms us and gets us so discouraged that we feel like giving up. We very often need someone standing on the sidelines of our life cheering “You can do it. I believe in you!”
There is someone who is always on YOUR side, loves you unconditionally in the good times and the bad and is always ready and willing to forgive and forget. Though He may not yell to cheer you on, He will speak to your heart in a still, small voice with encouragement for day to day living. Read about Him below and see why we at CCA, Christian Cheerleaders of America, truly have SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT!
