Sideline Cheer is a Fall Season Only team with the option to continue through Winter Basketball Season with the Dance Team or even into Spring Competitive Sport Team. It’s tryout time for Acalanes High School’s Co-Ed Sideline Cheer Squads. It takes a lot of heart, training and conditioning, but it's a lot of fun. Fall Sideline Cheer follows the JV / Varsity Football regular season schedule. Should the Freshman participants be a good size, Coaches may create a Freshman Squad.
Depending on the season, volunteer roles include: Yell Leaders, Gymnasts, Bleacher Dancers, Mascots. For those cool single partner guy/girl partner stunts, we need strong, male athletes as well (Did you know 50% of college sideline cher erleaders are MALE?!)!
Please note that Sideline Cheer practice will run as soon as allowed post Tryouts through the Fall Football season. In addition to cheering at games, the squads also represent at rallies and other events. The Acalanes Spirit Program runs year-round as 3 separate seasons, with a different focus each season (Fall Co-Ed Sideline Cheer, Winter Co-Ed Dance Pom, Spring Girl's Competitive Sport Cheer). Cheerleaders are encouraged to roll into the next season, but may opt to participate in specific Cheer Seasons or play other sports in their non-cheer seasons. See tryout packet for anticipated practice schedule.
Final roster attends cheer training camp over summer. A modified training camp occurs when a summer camp cannot be attended.
Mandatory Athlete Participation. Pre-season Fundraiser and skills clinic for K-8th.
Mandatory Athlete Participation. Fall Season Fundraiser and skills clinic for K-8th.
