Cheerleading (2012 – 2013)

Cheer Intramurals Dates

Any student interested in cheerleading is encouraged to attend. Intramurals are not try-outs, just a time to work and improve cheer skills. We will be working on cheer skills such as cheers, stunting, tumbling, motions, flexibility, conditioning, etc.
