OUR CHEER PROGRAM HAS ENDED FOR THE 2025 SEASON. We will open registration for the 2026 season in March for the season start in April.
📣 WHO
Junior Colts: Rising 4th, 5th & 6th graders
Senior Colts: Rising 6th, 7th & 8th graders
⭐ WHAT
Colt Competition Cheerleading* is designed for more advanced cheerleaders who want the best of both worlds:
· 📣 Sideline cheering for our Colt travel football teams
· 🏆 Preparation for and participation in local cheer competitions
Previous experience is helpful.
Tryouts are mandatory, and you must be registered to try out.
At the clinic, prospective competition cheerleaders will:
· Learn a cheer
· Learn a dance
· Perform both for judges at tryouts
Teams are created based on:
· Physicality
· Basic cheer skills
· Ability to learn and perform choreography
*Colt Competition Cheer is designed build a love for competition cheer and to compete, and team sizes are intentionally limited to ensure safety, effective stunt group formation, and strong competitive performance. Teams are selected based on skill evaluation, physical ability, choreography retention, and how athletes fit into stunt groups and overall team structure. While we wish we could offer a spot to every athlete, we may not have space for all who try out. We deeply value every athlete’s effort and encourage continued growth in cheer, regardless of placement.
