TCAPS Learning, Enrichment & Athletic Program

EMS Winter Sideline Cheerleading 

Calling all cheerleaders! We are excited to announce the return of sideline cheer at EMS and hope you will join us! Any interested athletes are welcome to attend practice after school in the cafeteria, starting Wednesday, November 6th, to see what EMS Cheer is all about. If we have enough inerest for a team, our hope is start cheering at boys' basketball games at the end of the month! A current commitment is only required through December.  

Cheerleading consists of many skills. Cheerleaders are required to lead the spirit and energy the crowd directs towards the basketball team. Studies show that players often perform better when they are given positive attention from the people in the stands who are there to support them. Join us in supporting our fellow Trojan athletes!

Season Start and End Dates:

Wednesday, November 6 - Wednesday, December 18th, 2024.

Basketball games are normally held Mondays & Wednesdays (game cheer dates to be decided by coach and conveyed to cheer team).

Practice & Game Schedules: 

Practices the first two weeks will be from 3-5 pm in the EMS Cafeteria.

Coach Preston will email you directly from Final Forms regarding the remainder of practices and games the team will be cheering at. Cheer Coach: Tina Preston  prestonti@tcaps.net
