Athletes will experience the sport of cheer in a fun, team-focused and competitive environment. Coaches will emphasize safety, teamwork, good sportsmanship and making good choices to become a better athlete and prepare athletes for future, higher level, cheer teams. The Middle School Competitive Cheer team is designed for grades 5-9 and is focused on fostering development in the sport of cheerleading. Previous cheer/gymnastics/dance experience is helpful for participating on this team, but not mandatory. The season runs July-January. July & August practices are from 6:00-9:00 pm on Tuesdays. September-January practices are Tuesdays and Thursday nights at Minnetonka Middle School East from 6:00 - 8:30 pm.
