About Middle School Cheerleading - Winter Season 

Cheerleading consists of many skills. Cheerleaders are required to lead the spirit and energy the crowd directs towards the basketball team. We know by studies that players often perform better when they are given positive attention from the people in the stands who are there to support them. 

Season Start and End Dates:

Monday, October 28 - Wednesday, December 20, 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 Balcony. Dates TBD.

Coach Cruz will email you directly from Final Forms regarding the remainder of practices and games the team will be cheering at.
