Cheerleading

The vision of the Amherst Cheer program is to create a program where every athlete feels valued and appreciated. To prepare them for their next phase of life beyond high school by developing them into strong and confident young men and women. This program will teach athletes valuable life lessons, work ethic, mutual respect, accountability and a high level of commitment. As coaches we are dedicated to building champion athletes while representing our school with enthusiasm and pride.

Practices are typically Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. We attend all home and away varsity football games.

Tryout clinics are open to any athlete in 7th-12th grade interested in trying out for the Amherst Varsity Cheer Team. 7th & 8th graders may attend clinics, however, they must pass the APP test prior to tryouts. Attendance to the clinics are not mandatory to tryout, however they are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! We will review stunts, jumps, tumbling, and learn the tryout cheer & dance.
