The cheer program is made up of three teams, Freshman, Junior Varsity and Varsity.  Each of the three teams cheer at home and away football games and home basketball games.  In addition, all teams cheer at football and basketball championship games. Attendance for all cheerleaders at the games is mandatory.  Schedules will be given out at the beginning of the season to avoid conflicts. Cheerleading is both a fall and winter sport with tryouts for each season.  Cheerleaders are athletes and exhibit cheers, stunting, tumbling and dance abilities at games and can be seen practicing diligently throughout the year, including summer months.T

Cheer tryouts will take place on August 20 and 21 from 2:00PM - 6:00PM in the Student Center.  This tryout is for ALL 3 teams and attendance is mandatory! Freshman and Sophomore students are eligible to participate on Varsity.  
 

On Monday, August 20, all prospective cheerleaders will learn a cheer and a dance, practice stunting, jumps and tumbling.
On Tuesday, August 21 they will tryout in groups of four or more exhibiting what they learned the day before.  Please come in a white t-shirt, (no tank tops), black shorts, socks and sneakers. Hair MUST be pulled back in a high ponytail. NO JEWELRY! Nails must be cut short. NO GUM CHEWING.

If an individual makes the team a mandatory UCA Camp will take place on Thursday, August 23 and Friday, August 24 at St. Anthony’s.  The cost for the camp will be approximately $150.00. All athletes are responsible for their own lunch, however, water and snacks will be available for purchase.

In preparation for the tryout and potentially making the team, stretching, conditioning and running should be the norm throughout the summer months.  The Friar Sports Cheerleading Camp held July 30 - August 3 is a good opportunity to learn St. Anthony’s cheers and to prepare for the tryout. It also gives incoming freshman an opportunity to meet other freshman and build lasting friendships before the school year begins.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.  The athletic office will direct your calls to me. You can also email me at alopresti@stanthonyshs.org.

GO FRIARS!
