about springfield cheerleading
Building a strong base so all can fly
Springfield Cheerleading began as a CYO cheer team (known as Springfield Youth Cheerleading) over a decade ago, initially supporting the city's youth football program. Over the past several years, Springfield Cheerleading has grown into a full-year, competitive cheer program. We currently offer the following program:
Competitive Cheerleading Program (6 - 18 years) - a full-year (July - May) high-energy competitive program that participates in competitions up and down the East Coast.
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, dedicated to providing every benefit of an All-Star Program, but at a price that provides equitable access to all families.
