The group’s only non-weighted team is the Junior High team, which high school freshmen who are 14 years old are permitted to join.
The cheerleaders cheer at football games, but also compete in competitions of their own, and have exposure to tumbling as a way to learn to perform safe stunts.
Flag football and mascot cheer programs are available for four-year-olds.
