Register early! Last year many of our teams filled up in the first few days, and due to high demand but low practice space availability, we will be capping the size of our cheer teams.

🎉 Coaches & Board members are already working hard behind the scenes to make our 2026 season the best one yet! Let’s go 🚀!

Note: We’re looking for volunteers at every level, please reach out if interested!
