Cheerleaders demonstrate skills at Newport Harbor football game

Future Sailors cheerleaders showed their stuff at Newport Harbor High School’s football game at Davidson Field against San Clemente High.

Newport Harbor’s junior cheer camp participants gave a performance at halftime Friday night, demonstrating everything they learned during the week-long camp over the summer. The camp brought together about 130 pre-K to eighth-grade girls who wanted to learn the basics of cheer, song and baton twirling from the Newport Harbor High cheerleaders.

The camp, which was the squad’s biggest fundraiser of the year, helped the girls build confidence and a sense of rhythm while instilling the importance of exercising and being healthy, advisor Kristin Higman has said.
