SIDELINE CHEER

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
"G-R-I-Z-Z-L-I-E-S, Grizzlies!"
Sideline Cheer is an exciting performance sport in which cheerleaders engage the crowd and cheer on the GPYFA team that corresponds to their level. Football games take place on Saturdays. Each squad cheers during the game & performs a routine at halftime.

Cheerleaders practice two times per week and learn valuable life skills as they work to develop their overall flexibility and strength and master new cheer skills. The fundamentals of cheer will be taught including motions, jumps, kicks, dancing, tumbling, and stunting.
