About Us ✨
Sparklers cheerleading is a competitive cheer team. Tryouts are held in September and our season begins in early October. For this upcoming season, tryouts are currently scheduled for Sunday, September 7th with minis here from 10-12pm and juniors and seniors here from 12:30-4:30pm. Teams are as follows:
- Minis: Grades K-2
- Juniors: Grades 3-5
- Seniors: Grades 6-12
*We place athletes based on their grade level, but those with standout skills might just find themselves on a higher-level team so make sure to check all teams. No worries—everyone will be on the right team for their talents, and no one will be placed down.*
Competitions generally begin at the end of February/beginning of March and are mostly done on Sunday mornings, except for cheer state which is hosted on a Saturday in April/May.
