Description

Specialties

We are an organization founded in March of 2007 for girls to learn and perform precision drill team. We are a community drill team that brings together school-​age girls from cities around the Eastside of Lake Washington. You don’t have to attend a specific school to join our team as we are a community team and we’re open to all girls from any school. We perform in parades and competitions throughout the year and welcome new members at any time. We laugh, build friendships, and have a great time when we are together at team events like swimming parties, camp outs, picnics with other teams, or movie nights.

Many studies have shown that girls who are involved in sports and other team activities have higher self-​esteem, more self– confidence, and are less likely to participate in risky behaviors (crime, drugs, etc). Our team provides an activity that will build self-​confidence and self-​esteem. Our team teaches teamwork, respect for others (adults and peers), along with responsibility for our actions. We strive to appreciate each team member for who they are and show them that they are valued as a team member and as a person.

History

Established in 2007.

Heather and her staff lead the team with their endless passion for precision drill team. While growing up Heather, Kelle, and Jennifer were members of Seattle area teams and have never forgotten the lifelong lessons that being part of a drill team taught them. Sportsmanship, teamwork, responsibility, leadership, dedication, and community service top the list of skills that help build the foundation of their characters. Beyond the character building lessons, they will never forget the fun and friendships they made along the way. They are all excited to share their wonderful experiences with girls in their community and hope each member will gain new friendships and life skills along the way.
