The Junior Patriots Cheer Program combines sideline cheer for football and basketball with competitive cheer where the athletes will compete in competitions in the local area. The athletes will spend time on the fundamentals of stunting, learn a competition routine, condition, work on tumbling and learn cheers for football and basketball. They will also do other voluntary community events to perform to the community, and specifics will be communicated as they are scheduled. 

 

Each week, there will be a two hour and a half long practices at a location within the Great Valley School District between August and early November. These practices are closed to parents, but the coaches will upload videos to the Facebooks and Instagram pages. The season starts in early August. The athletes will cheer at home tackle football games during the fall, which are typically held on Sunday mornings through the last weekend of October. There will be approximately two competitions during the fall on the weekend. 

 

Once football games and competitions are over, the athletes drop to one practice a week to continue to work on stunting and learn basketball cheers. They will cheer at GVBL tournament team games. During basketball season, the schedule is significantly reduced to allow for the cheerleaders to also play for GVBL or other winter sports. The cheer season will wrap up in February.
