Welcome to White Squad! This prep squad is designed to help introduce the basics of cheerleading as well as prepare athletes for our Elementary Comp teams. Athletes will be working on skills required for a traditional competition routine, including jumps, stunts, and tumbling, at an easier level of commitment. Cheerleaders will be performing at a total of 2-3 events. A parent email will be sent out a couple weeks prior to the start date of practice with all important information regarding uniforms, practices attire, expectations and performance dates. There are two registration options: New – for athletes who do not have a uniform. Returner – for athletes who purchased a uniform last year that still fits. All of our recreational teams wear the same uniforms, so families don’t need to buy a new one each year if it still fits. To learn more about Lakeville Cheer click HERE. Tryouts Not Required
