About This Activity
Description
The Howard County Department of Recreation and Parks with the East Howard Jaguars, Inc. will offer a youth cheer program this fall. In addition to supporting the football players, sideline cheerleading introduces cheerleading fundamentals and performance skills. The main priority of the sideline cheerleading team is to attend and provide football gameday support. Sideline curriculum includes skill level appropriate cheers, jumps, stunts and pyramids. Please note tumbling will not be taught by the coaching staff but will be assessed and used during games and performances for those with mastered skills.
Practice will be at Thomas Viaduct Elementary School or Below Springs Elementary School starting at 6 PM and details will be provided in the welcome letter. Games are on Friday evenings or Saturdays and will require travel. Rescheduled games may be any night of the week. Practices can occur M-F, starting week of August 11, 2025. Practices will be three days a week when Howard County Public Schools begin. The season will run until mid-November or longer if the football teams make playoffs. Each squad member is issued a skirt, vest top, and poms. Players must provide crop top, bloomers, hair ribbons and shoes and socks. All participants must have a photo ID from the MVA or MMYFCL on the first day of practice. Requirements: No previous cheerleading experience, practice twice weekly, gameday attendance at 6 to 8 games held on Weekends* *Some Friday opportunities may be available.
