By using C.H.E.E.R, you can help create a space that is welcoming, fun, and exciting for everyone involved. Every cheer we choose shapes the experience for everyone around us, so go out there and C.H.E.E.R Kindly!

CARE FOR OTHERS: Be mindful of those around you, offering support and kindness to staff, fans and players.

HELP SOMEONE HAVING A HARD MOMENT: Whether it is getting someone some water, helping them find their way or getting help from staff, we can all show up for one another if something feels off.

ENGAGE KINDLY: Focus on positive cheers and encouragement, uplifting the team and creating a supportive atmosphere.

EMPATHIZE WITH OTHERS: We are all here to enjoy the game and give our teams the energy they need to pull off a win. Keep that in mind during tense moments, leaning into understanding over judgement.

REMEMBER WE ARE ALL DOING OUR BEST: Assume positive intent, and use supportive language like “this was a hard loss” or “yeah I am bummed too” to build community with others. Even in moments of frustration, we are rarely intentionally trying to cause harm. We usually just need a place to put our feelings.

Continue the conversation by taking our pledge, listening to the Breaking Silence podcast, sharing your story or by bringing the elements of C.H.E.E.R Kindly to your school, stadium and community.
