Camp Refines
The Art Of Cheering
RUTHAN BRODSKY SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
T
erri Cassels made the
cheerleading squad as a
student at Ferndale High
School. But it wasn't until
she became a coach that she re-
alized cheerleading meant more
than doing cartwheels and smil-
ing.
Today, Ms. Cassels runs the
Cheer! Michigan! (C!M!)
overnight summer
camp that trains
cheerleaders and
cheerleading coaches
in the finer points of
cheering and leader-
ship. This year, camp
was held at Orchard
Lake St. Mary's Col-
lege, Camp Nahelu in
Ortonville, and sites in
Cadillac and Grand
Rapids.
Occupation: Founder o
Cheer! Michigan!
Family: Parents, Nate and
Irene Light; sisters, Susan
Kam,in and Cindy Light; and
brothers, Alan Cassels and
David Light
Professional involvement:
Founding member, Cheer-
leading Forum of America;
member of Michigan Cheer-
leading Coaches Association.
"Cheerleading is more than a
pretty girl with pompons and a
short skirt at a football game,"
says Ms. Cassels, 38. "Today's
cheerleaders serve on student gov-
ernment, are involved with school
activities and are doing well aca-
demically.
"The program at C!M! reflects
these changes. When the girls at-
tend a C!M! camp session they not
only learn new chants and dance
steps, but also how to motivate,
initiate and lead a crowd. That's
my niche. I'm very good at teach-
ing others how to communicate
and take on leadership roles."
This summer — the camp's
seventh — some 3,600 teen-agers
attended 4-day sessions from
June to mid-August.
During the sessions, school
cheerleaders from Michigan and
other states refine their cheer-
leading skills, stunts and gym-
nastic techniques while taking
advantage of opportunities to im-
prove their problem-solving and
leadership skills.
Terri Cassels: Cheerleading coach.
The two-day camp sessions for
coaches, which cost about $75, fo-
cus on creating happy teen-agers,
confronting team problems and
setting goals.
Two years ago, cheerleading
was officially recognized by the
Michigan Athletic High School
Association as a genuine sport
and statewide competitions were
established.
Ms. Cassels confesses to not
knowing much beyond the basics
about cheerleading when she
started as a substitute teacher
and cheerleading coach in the
Sterling Heights school district.
But she knew a great deal about
adolescents from her education
and counseling background.
"I minored in public speaking
and loved it," Ms. Cassels says.
"The fact is, I'm good at commu-
nicating and getting to the heart
of group dynamics and finding
out why people behave the way
they do. While coaching, I real-
ized that there was more to
cheerleading than making hu-
man pyramids. There was a lead-
ership component that wasn't
being addressed by schools or ex-
