New for Fall 2024!

Due to the recent popularity of cheer participation the past couple of seasons, SYC Cheer will be expanding its program this fall.  We will be trying a different kind of recreational cheer squad - one that will focus on performances (of course they will still learn cheers).  This new squad will be classified as "Rec - Performance" while our regular squads will be "Rec - Sideline".  Nothing will change with our Rec-Sideline squads, they will still cheer at football games and create a routine to be performed at our end of season Pep Rally.

What will the logistics of the Rec-Performance squad look like?

This squad will still go to Kick Off and Pep Rally, and have one weekday indoor practice, like normal.

Additionally, they will have one outdoor practice on game days at the football stadium.  At the end of this practice they will perform during the halftime of the football game.  After the performance they will be free to go.

Rec - Performance Squad Requirements

Cheerleaders will need to be in grades 2-4 during the fall season.  Additionally, they MUST have participated in at least one season of SYC Cheer.

There are no tryouts or evaluations.  Everyone interested will be entered into a lottery, which will be chosen randomly.  If a chosen cheerleader has a sibling, eligible siblings will be included as well.
