What is Competitive Cheer?
The SYC Competitive Cheerleading Squad is a competitive, recreation cheer program that incorporates cheer, dance, jumps, stunting, and tumbling into a choreographed 2 minute 30 second routine to compete in area cheer competitions.
Who Can Participate?
Competitive cheer is open to cheerleaders in Kindergarten through 8th grade in SYCSD or the surrounding Southern York County area. All participants must attend an evaluation in order to qualify for the team. Our K-6th grade cheerleaders have the opportunity to cheer for football and basketball cheer through recreation programs. Cheerleaders are also able to tryout for middle school cheer in grades 7 thru 8.
What is the Commitment?
Team Tumbling
Cheer Practice
Participants must be prepared for intensive practices to initially learn and improve the choreography of the routine from late August and continuing through March. Practices are mandatory. If a child is going to miss a practice, you must notify the coach before the practice. If a child misses 2 practices they are at risk for removal from the team. We do reserve the right to remove any child who does not report to practices and competitions. Practice will take place at Titanium Athletics and Susquehannock High School.
