Norton, Mass. - The NYFC 12U Cheer Squad is turning the New England Regionals as a yearly tradition with their continued success. This squad as been a part of three state championships and are looking forward to build on their continue success in the New England Regionals on Saturday November 23rd at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, Mass.

Head Coach Jen Hoffman is amazed by the continuous improvement in their routine's scores. "Each and every time we step out on that mat, either in practice or in competition these ladies are getting better and better. Our scores keep on rising and we keep challenging them to do more and add more and they just keep giving us more."

Assistant Coach Rebecca O'Connor had this to say about this squads' drive. "They know that this hasn't been the easiest of seasons as we have had to travel to numerous towns and locations to have practice and it is because these young ladies want to become New England Champions and have that opportunity in Orlando that makes them so hungry to be better than they were yesterday."

Assistant Coach Joey Lynne Clark knows that it's about the challenge in front of them. "These young ladies know what it takes to move on and we have come real close in the past and now it's isn't about knowing... it's about doing and all the hard work that goes with it."

Assistant Coach Candice D'Ambra can't believe how much they have improved not only this year but from seasons past. "You can be happy winning once but each and every single season these ladies improve. They know that there is more out there and they want it. To remember what they were doing a few years ago to what they are doing now it's amazing. It is that they have chosen to go to camps and clinics and work on their craft and it really shows."

Finally Coach Hoffman wanted to let them know how proud she is of them and that they have made each other better. "These ladies are a family, they have laughed together and they have cried together. The most important thing is that they have done it all together and for that I am very grateful to be their coach. I can't wait to see what they will do."
