📣 SJB Sideline Cheer Program

Program Overview

  • Age-appropriate skill development

Sideline Cheer is open to participants of all experience levels and focuses on building a strong foundation in cheer basics while creating a positive and inclusive experience.

Age is determined as of July 1 of the current year.

Typical divisions include:
