Top 7 Cheerleading Awards Ideas For Your Next Banquet

Top 7 Cheerleading Awards Ideas For Your Next Banquet

It's nearing the end of cheer season, and you're probably starting to think about cheerleader banquet ideas for your girls.

The end of year banquet is a fun way to cap the season off and meet with parents to discuss next season. It's also the perfect event to award your cheerleaders for their hard work all season long.

Struggling to come up with unique ideas for your cheerleading awards? Keep reading.

 

MVP Award

Do you have that one cheerleader on your squad who goes above and beyond? Maybe she spends hours tumbling at home every week, and her practice shows when she shows up to practice with the rest of the squad. Maybe she takes gymnastics lessons, too, to become better at cheer.

When you've got a star like this, it's a good idea to reinforce their commitment to cheer with an MVP award.

If you don't have a technical star, have the squad vote on an MVP. Sometimes, their stardom lies in the fact that they're consistently supportive and encouraging to their teammates.

 

Personalised Cheerleading Awards

Personalised awards are a fun way to recognize individual squad members for their quirks and habits. These are a great team-building strategy, too.

Some personalised award ideas include:

  • Best smile
  • Most energetic
  • Most improved
  • Boldest
  • Most confident
  • Most talkative
  • Best laugh

Have the squad vote on these to be sure you're not showing any favouritism.

 

Technical Trophies

Technical trophies are the best cheer awards to reinforce how important practice is. Sometimes, it's the thought of an award that keeps a cheerleader practising her splits every day.

Some technical trophy ideas you could award are:

  • Best splits
  • Highest jumps
  • Best flyer
  • Best stunts
  • Best cartwheels
  • Loudest

Awarding a Best Cartwheels trophy ensures that the award winner is going to work to maintain that form all summer long!

 

Attendance Awards

Sure, there's plenty of debate about whether or not attendance awards reward kids for what they should have been doing anyway. In reality, though, perfect attendance is difficult to obtain.

Life gets in the way of cheer practice sometimes. That's just a fact. Sibling birthdays, trips to the mall with friends, and long weekends away camping with the family can impede practice time.

If you've got a cheerleader on your squad who has perfect attendance, it's because she made cheerleading a priority. That's a big deal, and her dedication is worth rewarding.

 

Participation Awards

Do you find yourself poring over the cheer awards you've planned for the season, only to notice that not everybody has one? The bummed out faces of a handful of cheerleaders who worked hard all year with no recognition is a great way to put a damper on your cheerleading banquet.

Avoid this by doling out participation awards to all your girls. Just because someone didn't qualify for another award doesn't mean they didn't hustle all season. Everyone wants to be recognized!
