The Centre College cheerleading program is a student activity as well as a sport. As such, its first and foremost responsibility to the student is to support and not to compromise the student's academic career.

Secondly, the program should aid in developing the student participant into a responsible, mature and independent adult. Specifically, the program is a means of improving the student's mental and physical well-being.

Cheerleading is an activity where the student will be provided: leadership training, development of self-confidence, development of interpersonal relationships; and generally will maximize the opportunity for student growth.
