Monday Memories....

The four gorgoues girls in the picture with me below were my 2012 Seabird Group 1 honey bee's. I was incredibly honored to be named a group leader at Manly last year and Lauren, Amy, Sarah and Ellen were the most special and sweetest girls to share it with!

As a Group Leader your roles to name a few include setting an example and upholding all seabird values, ensuring sideline cheers are organised on game days, making sure your team members are 100% with all routine choreography and lastly being a mamma bear so to say and being there for the girls lending an ear with any queries or issue that may arise throughout the season. It really is the most rewarding role and our 4 groups really strengthen the bond we all share even more so if possible!!

Group 1 is now known for being quite a mini power team within Seabirds due to the fact at our end of year awards night all our major awards went to the girls in Group 1. Oh yeh!!! It was a very proud moment for me seeing my girls shine so brightly all season and be rewarded for it!!

Lauren was named Seabird of the Year
Amy was named Cheerleaders Cheerleader
Sarah was named Rookie of the Year
Mention should be made also that Ellen was Rookie of the Year in 2011

Lauren Barbie Seabird

As you can see the prizes for our end of year awards are DIVINE!!! Monique Carroll is beyond talented in so many area's and when it comes to creating "Barbie Seabird" each year she always manages to match the Barbie to the winner perfectly! "Lauren Barbie Seabird" was no exception - she is as gorgeous and lush as her owner.

Every year we eagerly await as a team for Barbie to be revealed by Monique with the hair being the last thing to be revealed....as it is normally a tell tale as to who has won! The squeals of excitement that ensue are just priceless and the winner is always so overcome with emotion that they don't believe it is actually them who gets to take home the one of a kind most treasured item!!

In my time cheerleading at both Souths and Manly i was lucky and extremley honored to be named Cheerleaders Cheerleader two years running and Cheerleader of the Year twice. Once at Souths and once at Manly. My "Hayley Barbie Bunny" and "Hayley Barbie Seabird" are so precious to me and will be treasures i keep forever to keep my cheerleading memories bright and sparkly!!
