Full Season Cheer
Full Season Cheerleading is the heartbeat of our cheer program! This competitive program is for both beginner and experienced cheerleaders that have found their love for the sport of cheerleading. These athletes are dedicated and are ready to make cheerleading their top priority in order to be competitive. At Fire House Gym, we have teams for all ages and skill levels. They receive professional stunt, music and choreography, making them highly competitive and successful. In addition to their teams being successful on the competition floor, you can expect these athletes to significantly grow their individual cheerleading skills each season.
Outside of practice and competition, you can find these athletes attending team bonding events, participating in parades, participating in fundraisers, performing at local events, volunteering at various events, and giving back to the community. These teams form a bond with their teammates throughout the year and are the epitome of comradery.
Several fundraising opportunities are available throughout the season for athletes. All funds raised go directly into your cheerleader’s individual account and are not pooled.
