JJM Cheer FAQ's

Who Can cheer? 

JJM cheer is open to athletes age 5-14 (based on age June 15th, no high school students) with any experience level. Divisions are based on athlete's age and skill. We offer two types of teams-recreational and competitive. Our recreational teams focus on cheer instruction and athlete development. Our competitive team(s) is for the more experienced athlete. There are no tryouts for recreational teams, competitive team tryout(s) are held in May.

Cheer is a team sport and every athlete serves a valuable role.  We recommend athletes do not play other sports during the cheer season.  Athlete's missing practices and/or games impact other athlete's ability to practice and perform.

Cheer season runs July- November. 

 Practice schedules can be found here. 

 Cheerleaders perform sideline and a halftime show at all games. Games start in August and can continue into November based on playoffs. Games are typically on Saturdays, game time depends on athlete's division.  

Recreational cheer will showcase at the SAC league competition held in November and competitive cheer will attend 2-3 competitions during the season.

 Cheer Clinics (May/June)- early May, before competitive team try-outs, we offer cheer clinics. Athletes will be taught motions, jumps, intro to stunting, and a few cheers. Clinics are FREE to registered athletes.

Cheer Camp- highly recommended for new athletes and REQUIRED for competitive athletes. Cheer camp is held in July and will be our first activity as teams. This is an additional fee but a great way to learn more about cheer and get to know your teammates.
