Mission

The Minnesota Jets mission is to create opportunities to offer cheerleading, cheerleading events, cheerleading teams, and awareness/advocacy for cheerleading throughout Central Minnesota. Minnesota Jets hopes to promote a sense of community, and achievement, and promote positive self-esteem for all involved. These goals will be accomplished through opportunities for students age 18 and younger, by providing access to equipment, facilities, and training that exceed expectations, and fosters an atmosphere where integrity, inclusiveness, accountability, and respect are valued. As a nonprofit organization, the Minnesota Jets works to remove financial barriers for participating youth athletes.

Notes from the nonprofit

Cheerleading is a challenging and unique sport that is uncommon compared to most others. If someone is sick or injured, you must pull someone new into their position, having them learn their stunts, tumbling, and dance positions, often within 30min. In cheerleading, having someone fill in from the bench is not easy. If there is not someone available to step in, then their stunt group would have to mark their stunts (not stunting), and there is a hole left in the dance and tumbling formations. Cheerleading is truly a team sport. The stunt groups, pyramids, and routine relies on every individual performing to their highest level. To develop the team bonding necessary for successful performances and skill progressions, we create opportunities for the cheerleaders to volunteer their time giving back to their communities and others. We believe philanthropy is a cornerstone to leadership development and the secret to establishing a unique culture within the program.

Minnesota Jets

The Minnesota Jets mission is to create opportunities to offer cheerleading, cheerleading events, cheerleading teams, and awareness/advocacy for cheerleading throughout Central Minnesota. Based in Big Lake, MN with practices, camps, and events being hosted in Monticello and at Monticello Schools, Minnesota Jets hopes to promote a sense of community, and achievement, and promote positive self-esteem for all involved. These goals will be accomplished through opportunities for students age 18 and younger, by providing access to equipment, facilities, and training that exceed expectations, and fosters an atmosphere where integrity, inclusiveness, accountability, and respect are valued.
Cheerleading is about being a part of something greater than yourself. We see this with our Minnesota Jets cheerleaders, their families, and the legacy forming within what will be an incredible program. Uniforms and bows do not make the cheerleader; those are merely the branding of something far more amazing
