No Need To 'Reach The Beach'

For the first time in Pennsbury Falcons Cheerleading Association history all three recreational teams -- Pee Wee, Junior Varsity and Varsity -- finished first in their respective divisions at the Reach the Beach National Competition.

JV coach Lynn Dixon was awarded with the Coach of the Year at the Reach the Beach event. The JV team finished third overall for the first two sessions. They gained an automatic entry to the U.S. Finals and topped more than 144 other teams in the process.

The U.S. Finals Competition is in it’s fifth year and considered the "Final Destination" for cheer and dance teams. It’s the most successful multi-brand event in the country, and attracts over 1,350 teams. The goal is to crown "True Champions" in all levels and divisions.

The Pee Wee team consists of members between first and fourth grade, JV; fourth through sixth, and varsity; seventh through ninth.

All of the teams cheer for the Lower Makefield Football, PRBL and Pennsbury Wrestling Programs from September to February.

The teams also take part in about nine local and national cheerleading competitions.
