Sideline Cheer emphasizes development, participation, and confidence-building. Athletes will learn:

  • Basic cheer motions and terminology
  • Age-appropriate chants and cheers
  • Sideline formations and game-day etiquette
  • Teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship

All routines and activities are designed to be non-competitive, focusing on learning and fun rather than performance rankings.

All coaches are required to:

  • Complete background checks
  • Follow cheer guidelines and safety standards
  • Adhere to league codes of conduct

Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer as cheer coaches or team helpers to support the program.

Practice schedules and game assignments will be shared once teams are formed. Attendance expectations will be communicated by coaches.
