CHEERLEADING

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, home basketball games and championship games. All game day attendance 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.

CHEER TRYOUTS - 

All grades and attendance are mandatory!  Freshman and Sophomore students are eligible to participate on Varsity. Please wear 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!

Tuesday, August 24 in the STUDENT CENTER

2:00PM-2:45PM - Review what was learned the previous day

3:00PM - Group Tryouts - Four or more exhibiting what they learned the day before.

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 26 - July 29 is a good opportunity to learn St. Anthony’s cheers and to prepare for the tryout.  It also gives incoming Freshmen an opportunity to meet other Freshmen and build lasting friendships before the school year begins.   GO, FRIARS!!
