SOAC CHEERLEADING is a program that teaches the fundamentals of stunting, cheer motions, and dance in order to provide the girls with the basic cheerleading skills. As they progress, the stunting and dances get more difficult. This will give them the skills to hopefully move on to the high school level. Tumbling skills are a plus as this skill is a necessity as they go into high school, but it is not a mandatory skill.

Practices begin at the end of August usually held three nights a week until school starts and then drops to two.  Times are held around 6:30-8:30pm (until it begins to get dark, then we end at 8pm – when outside).  Practices in the fall are held twice a week approximately 6:30pm – 9:00pm (depending on team & space approval) and are held at either Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin Elementary Schools.  Specifics will be given out as soon as the coaches receive confirmation of space.   *** PLEASE NOTE:  practices are not scheduled for 2 ½ hours long.  Actual practices run approximately 2 hours long.   Specific times will be given out by each team’s coach.

The teams cheer for the football games which begin in the middle of September and run until November (ending with a Turkey Bowl the eve before Thanksgiving). Home games are played on the LHS turf field. Games are usually Sunday mornings for JV and either Sunday or Saturday mornings for Varsity (but are subject to change). Flag football games are played on Saturdays (girls will cheer at the 11am game) held at the Administration Building.

CHEER CAMP:  We will once again hold a cheer camp run by the LHS Cheerleaders on August 1-3 which jump starts our season. The High School team teaches the proper techniques of stunting, motions, and dance moves.  They learn a dance routine and cheer routine that will be performed for the parents on the last day.

CHEER COMPETITIONS:  The most exciting part of being a cheerleader is competing.  All three teams will compete in approximately 3 competitions.   The competitions are in November and December so that we are able to end the season before the holidays.
