The SCA Athlete Council provides athletes with an opportunity to have a voice in the development of cheerleading in Saskatchewan. The council serves as a connection between athletes and the SCA, providing feedback, ideas, and recommendations on programs, events, and initiatives that impact athletes across the province.
Council members meet monthly from September through March and work together on projects designed to enhance the athlete experience. Recent initiatives have included:
Zen Den at Provincials, providing athletes with a quiet space to relax and recharge during competition.
Athlete-focused merchandise ideas and designs.
Feedback on events, programs, and athlete development opportunities.
Promotion of athlete engagement and leadership within the Saskatchewan cheer community.
The Athlete Council is an excellent opportunity for athletes to develop leadership skills, make new connections across the province, and help shape the future of cheerleading in Saskatchewan.
