The Sideline cheerleading program combines the excitement of cheerleading with a focus on values and principles of the Christian faith. The program is designed to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and character development, while also providing opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship. The program includes practices and games where students learn and perform cheers, tumbling and stunting.
We have 2 separate teams to join and we utilize the Catholic United model. You choose to participate in CUE or CUW (Catholic United East or Catholic United West). You will choose which team during registration. CUE is typically schools that feed into Catholic Central High School and CUW is typically schools that feed West Catholic High School. Depending on the number of participants depends on how many teams within each program we will have.
Safety first:
Cheering at football games can be both overwhelming and exciting for youth cheerleaders. Cheering at events is a great way to build confidence and promote school spirit and values. However, there are some precautions that need to be taken to ensure a successful experience. We ask that our team members adhere to the following sideline cheer safety rules when cheering at football games.
Safety rules:
- Have FUN!!!
- Cheerleaders must remain on the designated sideline area with the team.
- Cheerleaders are not allowed on the football field, unless directed by a cheer coach.
- To leave the field for any reason, a cheerleader must be accompanied by a coach or a parent/guardian (Adult to adult transfer).
Flag Football Games:
Each cheer team will be allowed to cheer at the Flag FB games on Saturdays, the 5/6 games on Saturdays and the 7th and 8th games during the week. Your coaches will inform you of which games your team will be cheering.
Game Location: SJV Flag Football, 4101 Clyde Park Ave SW, Wyoming, MI 49509
Communication: Parents are encouraged to communicate using the TeamSnap application. The App can be found in your registration materials. If you have not downloaded the application, please do so.
Transportation:
Families of students who participate in athletics are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from practices and games.
Practices will be physically demanding. Please make us aware of any limitations or injuries. Cheerleaders are expected to communicate physical limitation concerns with coaches. No child will be asked to perform any specific physical activity beyond their ability.
