Wesleyan cheerleaders volunteer at Rocky Mount Parks & Rec

Rocky Mount, NC - Head coach Samantha McAuliffe and her Battling Bishop cheerleaders continued their busy summer last week by volunteering at Rocky Mount's Parks & Rec Department. Wesleyan cheerleaders held a camp for girls ages 5 to 12 and were pleased to have 14 campers over the four-day event, which was held at the Senior Citizens Center downtown. Participants were taught various cheers, chants, and dances, as well as proper motion technique.

"Many of these young ladies do not have cheerleading programs in their schools," said McAuliffe. "The squads that the Parks and Recs offer are the only option they have to cheer."

McAuliffe added, "We thoroughly enjoyed working with all of the campers."

The camp, organized by Rocky Mount's Brenda Bynum, is one of several summer activities for McAuliffe's squad. The Bishops will also be working several private summer camps for area middle and high school squads as a fundraiser.

Tryouts for Wesleyan's 2008-09 squad will be held in September to fill the team’s remaining slots. For more information on tryouts and/or any of the information provided above, please contact Coach McAuliffe at 252-985-5140 or smcauliffe@ncwc.edu.
