September 4, 2025

Starting in 2025-2026, Coach Way will be leading a competitive cheerleading squad of 4th through 8th graders during after-school hours.  The program is free of charge, in line with the school’s philosophy for Falcons sports.

Tryouts & Practice

  • Tryouts: Thursday, September 4. 3:45–5:45 p.m.
  • Students in 4th and 5th Grade who participated in the cheer recess club during the previous year do not need to try out.
  • All other interested 4th to 8th Grade students are welcome to attend the tryouts (please complete this form). 
  • Cheer practice will take place every Wednesday from 3:45 to 5:45 p.m., beginning September 10.
  • Students will participate in regional cheerleading competitions throughout the year. Competition dates will be mandatory for all cheerleaders and will be shared once confirmed.

Note for Middle School students: Falcons sports practices and cheerleading are both held on Wednesdays. Students may try out for both, but if selected for both squads, they will need to choose one due to scheduling conflicts.

Registration and After-School Coordination

As with the Falcons sports teams, we understand that some students may not make the squad. Parents are therefore encouraged to register for Wednesday After-School activities when registration opens on Monday, July 14 at 12:00 p.m. (EDT). If your child makes the cheer squad, you will be refunded for any After-School activities missed.
