Hi, Broncos Country!
My name is Serita, and I am a current Denver Broncos Cheerleader. This is my sixth and final season on the team, and my first time ever posting on our blog! And I am excited to share with you one of my passions that has grown over the past six years as a DBC!
I have been an instructor for our Junior Denver Broncos Cheerleaders for six years. I instruct our teens group, which ranges between the ages of twelve and fourteen and I can’t get enough of them! It is an honor to be an instructor for our juniors program, especially this age group. These girls are at an age where many different situations and responsibilities present themselves, and choices are made which can affect them either positively or negatively, for the rest of their lives. If I have even the smallest part in helping build their self-esteem, guiding them with finding a passion in dancing and performing, or being a positive role model, then I have accomplished what I have set out to do!
We recently had a juniors clinic on Saturday, July 17th, and our theme was “Summer Fun!” The girls all came dressed up in Hawaiian skirts and shirts, floaties, sunglasses, flip-flops and flowers in their hair We had hula-hoop and limbo contests, which the girls really enjoyed! Two and a half hours goes by so fast when you are instructing, and the energy that fills our practice area is contagious! Being a teen instructor means that I have to bring myself back to when I was that same age, and I have to think about what I was going through at that time in my life. I must admit that I proudly know about Twilight inside and out and can sing all of the words to Katie Perry’s “California Gurls!” And you better believe that we gave away Eclipse t-shirts and pens to the girls for dancing with more energy and smiling bigger! A little bribery doesn’t hurt anyone!
These clinics are hard work, and none of us would participate in them if we weren’t so passionate about these girls. If I would have had the opportunity to meet a Denver Broncos Cheerleader, my childhood dream would have been fulfilled! And the fact that we get to spend so much time with these girls is a blessing in itself. They look to up to us as an inspiration when little do they know that they themselves are doing the inspiring.
These girls chose to be a part of our program vs. the many opportunities that Colorado has to offer. They get up hours before 9:00 AM on a Saturday to come to clinic, and let me tell you, that is hard for a teenager! And we have many participants that drive to Denver for these clinics that live out of state. Talk about dedication!
The Junior Denver Broncos program, and especially the girls who are a part of it, have changed my life forever. Hearing them gossip about who’s cuter, Jacob or Edward ( I’m Team Edward, to be honest!), tests they have coming up, and singing songs that are currently on the radio, puts a genuine smile on my face! They inspire me to be a better person and role-model, and remind me of the thirteen year old I once was. They remind me of the dream I had when I was their age, and the dream that I am now living as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. Inspiration is a trait that comes from within, and can easily be caught from someone you admire, regardless of age. Who inspires you?
Thank you for reading my entry, and Go Broncos!

Look for more thoughts from Serita and other Broncos cheerleaders as the 2010 season nears.

Glad to have you cheerleading for the Broncos Serita, enjoy your final season and hopefully you will go out with a winning team and get extra work in the playoffs.
On the front page of the website, there has been a fan poll about what position is the most intriguing entering training camp, it gives you the following options: D line, LB’s, QB’s and WR’s. I haven’t been able to enter that poll because the O line is not listed and it is what’s intriguing me the most right now by far. Weird, I can’t figure it out, they have the D line in there but not the O line, no wonder O linemen get no respect…
Hmmmm I’ll be the first to say it, just so everyone doesn’t tippy-toe around the subject….
Serita your SMOKING HOT!!!!! If I wasn;t married your’d be in trouble LOL Okay enough of the dreaming.
Its great stuff that the ladies/cheerleaders also contribute to the organisation off the field. Devoting your time to running those programs for the youth of state is awesome and you and the others are to be commended for that. Sadly in this day and age few have role models to look up to… sorry I should be more specific.. few have POSITIVE role models to look up and to aspire to do good or even great things for the community, for thier family and most importantly themselves. I’m not just talking about cheerleading or dancing, but teaching the next generation valuable lessons in life, such as self esteem, motivation, social skills, team building skills.
One more year of great deeds Serita, well at least with the Broncos org. I wish you all the best for the season and whatever the future has in store for you… And like Lino said here’s hoping you get a few more EXTRA opportunities in Jan… like back 2004… **SIGH** Hahahahahaha
LETS GET IT ON!!!! (TC that is)
TRUE DAT LINO!!!! ‘Lets get down to dee neety greety’ ~ Nacho (Lol love that movie)
The engine room of the offence gets looked over on this occassion, but I say “OI! DB.com NOOOOOOOOOO!’ The Oline has a few scares in the Off Season and we need to know whats going on in that department. All I know is that we have a O-Line and thats it.. I haven’t jack about the progress of Clady or Harris. Nor have I heard about the Olsen, Hamilton, Kuper or the rookies.. Well i did hear Kuper has re-signed, but nothing MEATY!
My cousin had the chance to participate as a junior cheerleader. And has talked on numerous occasions about participating in the clinics. I got to see first hand, the passion you described above.
And yes, samoan is correct, you are smokin and I always love getting my Cheerleader calendar each year! lol
So, I know you mentioned team Edward…what about the QB’s…OK, just kidding. Im with team Orton, in case anybody was wondering!!!!!
GO BRONCOS 2K10!!!!!!!!!!
Not every team is slow at signing their rookies, some teams seem to think that regardless of the uncertainty of the labor situation for next year, if you draft kids the right thing would be to sign them, duh:
The Panthers signed receiver Brandon LaFell, leaving quarterback Jimmy Clausen as the team’s only unsigned draft pick.
No reason for me to talk about signing players here, it obviously doesn’t do any good to talk about it, I have said all I have to say about that many times over.
And yeah, if the official Bronco website doesn’t talk about the O line in depth even so it is the unit most in limbo now, no wonder Broncos O linemen used to talk to nobody, as if if they were given the silence treatment they could dish it out too. Anyway I know it had nothing to do with that, just saying it would make sense for them to do it now. O linemen get no respect, right Coop? It’s all about QB, RB’S and WR’s, talk about putting the wagon in front of the horses!!! I have a feeling the reason the O line is kind of left out of the loop is because there are so many glaring problems with it now, let’s just sweep it under the rug for now kind of thing, I’m worried about it and I see no reason for anyone in the organization not to be worried about it too. They are the 2010 season biggest question mark, they do good we do great, they don’t hold their own we have got no shot at all, simple as that. We don’t have an elite QB to be able to shine without a good line, our QB’s, whoever plays, will need all the help they can get, not just protection but a great running game, but to get that you need a good O line, so here we are, back to what really matters this year: the O line. Anyone listening? Can we get serious O line updates throughout camp and pre-season or will it still be taboo material….
Serita,
Thank you for all that you do. The work you ladies do in the community is great for helping set great examples for impressionable kids. You show them what being a great member of the community is all about, and when they are young it stays with them forever. The amount of work you ladies put in with preparing for games, practice, your own outside work or school and work with the community is impressive! I hope you have a great year and thank you again!

There is a web site called tickets finest that people can list there tickets for sale. I think it is like stub hub. It has tickets for all sorts of events. you go to ticketsfinest.com choose the sports tab, then NFL football then actually choose the Minnesota Vikings link. This will bring up alll the tickets available to Vikes games. then you find the broncos game and click on view tickets. This will bring up a picture of the stadium you click on which section you want to sit in and it shows available tickets. I just bought some tickets to the Broncos Chiefs game, front row endzone!! This is the first time I have used this site but it seems to be on the up and up. I looked at stub hub and the exact same tickets I was looking at here were on there, stub hub just had a bigger personal fee. I hope this helps. also cool to know you are in Brookings, I am in Sioux Falls.
S.D.Bronco30, cool ticket website, please let us know when you get your tickets to see if everything went smooth, thanks.
Thanks bay, I will do that. I have received a couple e-mails that said they will be sent later this fall. It said ship dates mey be later due to distribution of tickets to fans by certain organizations and then how soon the ticket holder gets them sent out. It did guarantee I would get them befor the game of course.
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders wha? Denver Broncos Cheerleaders are all win. Serita for Governor. <3
Not to take anything anyway from you, Serita, but fellow Denver Broncos Cheerleader Amanda Lofland has been so inspirational to me, one cannot even begin to count the ways in which Amanda has been so inspirational to me.
Serita………(HOT)
Hi Serita,
Wow, time really flies by – you’re already in your sixth year. I’ve had a chance to meet you and get my picture taken with you a couple of times – once at a calendar release party and once at last year’s fan fare.
I can’t thank you enough for being on the team and all the wonderful community service work you do. Working with the junior cheerleaders is another example. You and your teammates are such wonderful role models for young girls in the community and, as a parent, I can’t tell you how important that is.
It’s so good to see a couple of you ladies blogging with the fans again. As you can tell from the response your fans love to keep in touch and get to know all of you a bit.
Looking forward to keeping in touch with you ladies for another great year.
Don
