Practices

FIRST PRACTICE FOR SPRING 2024 - TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6

Tuesdays, 5pm - 6pm
Location: Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church Gym

We prefer to have closed practices so our cheerleaders can focus all their attention on learning. This also gives them the space and opportunity to be independent and make new friends. Please be prepared to drop your cheerleader off at the start of practice and pick her back up at the end (parents are more than welcome to wait at the benches just outside our practice area). 

Fall: begins early August

Spring: begin early February
