Cheer Legacy Dynasty Road to Worlds
Cheer Legacy Athletics "Dynasty" is heading to Worlds 2018! This group of fifteen athletes ages 15-26 from North Battleford has received a bid to the 2018 USASF Cheerleading World Championships. Cheer Legacy Athletics, Dynasty, will be joining this elite group of athletes and teams from around the World in Orlando, Florida in April. Cheerleading Worlds will be televised live on ESPN April 27-30. Watch for Team Canada and for the Cheer Legacy Athletics team. Dynasty will be competing in the Level 5 Small Co-ed division against teams from all over the world.
Dynasty has been training since June of 2017, working hard to achieve their goal of attending the World Championships. In order to reach this point, they have worked with multiple instructors from Canada and the US, in addition to 6 hours of weekly training with CLA club owner and head coach, Lesia Rathje. Rathje got the call on Thursday, March 15th, coincidentally during their team practice. Event producer, All Things Cheer, gave them the good news. Commitment through countless hours of training, fundraising, and traveling to various competitions across Western Canada has paid off for these 15 athletes and their coach.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price. Fifteen athletes and their coach now have to get themselves to Orlando, Florida and have 6 weeks to raise the money for flights, hotel, meals, registration fees, and MORE. Any donation, large or small, is greatly appreciated!
Cheer Legacy Athletics (Cheer Legacy) is an all-star cheerleading program for youth and adult athletes. CLA was started in 2012 by Lesia Rathje with 7 athletes who trained in a rented space, the mezzanine of the Civic Center in North Battleford. Over the last six years the program has grown to 150 members and 10 staff, and Cheer Legacy athletes now train in a brand new, custom built gym in North Battleford.
