OUR MISSION
Valor Cheer is a competitive recreational cheerleading program at Watertown YMCA, built on a foundation of strength, purpose, and integrity. We are committed to creating a safe, empowering environment where athletes ages 8–18 can grow through quality instruction, character-building, and positive mentorship. Rooted in the values of perseverance, accountability, and resilience, our program inspires young people to become confident athletes and capable leaders—on and off the mat.
OUR FOCUS
At Valor Cheer, we prioritize holistic development—coaching with heart, structure, and purpose. Our focus extends beyond skills and scores: we emphasize work ethic, discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Through encouragement and high expectations, athletes develop confidence, responsibility, and pride in their progress. In line with YMCA values, we cultivate a spirit of community, where each athlete is seen, supported, and challenged to rise.
OUR GOAL
Our goal is to deliver a dynamic, competitive experience within a fun, inclusive, and positive atmosphere. As a full-rec, affiliated program, Valor Cheer welcomes athletes from all backgrounds and communities throughout Northern New York. We aim to provide meaningful opportunities for growth, achievement, and unforgettable memories—because here, every athlete is built for battle.
