It was a new experience for the team, as they had not expected such a big reception, as well as press exposure and big crowds at the games.

DeMan, who founded and coached the cheerleading squad for 10 years, is leaving her post as TAB PhysEd and Science department head for a vice-principal position at the end of this year, and wanted to phase herself out. To date, it has been quite a season and it's not over yet. "It was extremely satisfying to win Halton, which we haven't won since 1983," she said. Under the new coaching regime, the girls trained more this year than ever before, said DeMan, three times a week for the varsity team and twice a week for the junior squad. The season kicks off with a cheerleading camp, where the girls focus on team building and safety and spotting skills. "It's a great way to bring the girls togeth er," she said. The sport is a combination of tumbling, dance and cheer motions as well as stunting which features a series of tosses, flips, cradles and catches. Because cheerleading is almost a 12-month season, the girls must be extremely dedicated, and no slouches when it comes to physical conditioning and academics. Cheerleading is a "wonderful" sport for girls, said DeMan, who continually hears about the long term benefits of the confidence and self-esteem gleaned from cheerleading, from returning students. `T here aren't as many team opportunities for girls. We support the school teams but our main focus is competition. The girls are real ambassadors for the school. They're there for Parent's Night, Orientation Night..." There is also a strong academic focus and most of the girls are on the honor roll. When the Tigers head to the Ontario Cheerleading Championships, which are organized by the Ontario Cheerleading Federation, they hope to finish in the top 10; their best result to date was an 11th place fin ish. Technically, the Tigers' execution is "out standing," said DeMan, but between now and May, coaches will be re-designing the pro gram artistically. If there is one cheerleader, from among the 20 on the team, who should be singled out, it's Beth Worden, said DeMan. "Beth is in her final year and she has been on my team all along. She is past coach of the Brookdale team and is one of the most cele brated athletes." DeMan commended Beth for five years of time, effort and leadership. AT THE CLUBHOUSE 2310 B ridge Rd.
