SLCS Training Feb ’23
I was in the SLCS February 2011 Trainee class. Now, 12 years later, I thought I’d check in see what training looks like these days.
27 Cheerleader Pyramid
On 2 February 2023 we performed a 27-cheerleader pyramid. No one present could recall ever having done one that big before. Or if it was even possible with the Cheermaster HUD!?
Five Suggestions for SLCS Trainers
I’d like to respectfully offer 5 training suggestions to the SLCS Training Staff. Each of these is a small thing, but I believe they also carry big implications. I worry that our training may over-emphasize the technical aspects of being an SLCS cheerleader at the expense of of the personal, emotional, sororal, and spiritual aspects of being a part of SLCS.
Christi Charron @15
It’s SLCS’ 15th anniversary year. After practice each week Sayrah presents Cheerleader service awards… 1 year… 3 years… 6 years… and so on. This week she presented a 15-year award to SLCS Founder Christi Charron.
Srooc Skytower Memorial Garden
Cheerleading legend Srooc Skytower passed away on 6 March 2014. SLCS named its stadium after her and built a Memorial Garden to remember Srooc and other SLCS Cheerleaders & Friends who have passed.
SLCS Thanksgiving Dinner
Shawna Trang organized, and Lumyai catered, a bountiful Thanksgiving Dinner for all of us tonight.
Paneling the trainee? Or SLCS itself?
When a panel votes on a trainee, we are making a choice about one specific trainee. It might be less obvious, but with each trainee who Panels, we are also defining who we are. Panels are a test of what SLCS is. Of who we aspire to be.
It’s Too Hot!!!
OMG! It’s a million degrees out! Fortunately I’ve got Kitten’s fun & chill “SLCS Butt Bikini” to keep me cool on these miserable post-apocalyptic days!
SLCS Avatar Name Stories
Cheerleaders share the stories behind how they chose their avatar names. From frustration with Lucky Chairs to refugees from another world, we’ve taken some interesting journeys to find our names and to become a part of SLCS.
Abbie Bulloch
Can it really be 11 years since Abbie and I were SLCS trainees? (not SL or Dog Years, but 11 actual PW years!)

On Sunday I helped cutie write a short bio for the Second Life Cheerleading Squad (SLCS) for the Spoonful of Sugar Festival. Then on Monday I worked with Christi on what the SLCS logo & colors represent.

Concept Board for a Cool Uniform for this Hot Summer! Short-shorts with a big belt and a bedazzled crop halter! Woo!
SLCS Rank Controller
What if we modified the SLCS Rank Controller and levels of Cheerleader away from a military model of Lieutenants and Captains to a more participation, achievement, and community-based model of Pom Pom colors?
Is Cheerleading a Sport?
The NCAA has ruled Cheerleading not a sport. The American Medical Association says that Cheerleading is a sport. Different courts have ruled both ways. What is a sport? And whatever a sport is, is Cheerleading that?
