The BI summer cheerleading team is an opportunity for individuals who want an introduction into cheerleading, as well as experienced cheerleaders ready to improve their skills and learn new material for the upcoming year! Tryouts for the summer team will be held on the dates and times below. The summer cheerleading team is like any other summer league. It WILL NOT guarantee you a spot on the fall team. It is an opportunity to improve your skills, make new friends, go to a local cheer camp for 3 days, learn new routines, cheers, chants, and have some fun! We will also have some fundraising car washes!!

Tryout practices will be June 10th and 11th and everyone will learn a cheer, chant and 32 count dance. Then you will have a day off to work on it on your own, and tryouts will be on Saturday, June 13th from 1-4pm. Everyone trying out will need to perform 3 different jumps, (one must be a toe touch) and a stunt, (backhand spring, round off, cartwheel, etc.) and the cheer, chant and dance you will learn. Other techniques you will learn at the tryout practices! The summer team tryouts are open to all grades 9-12. If you make the team, we will practice every Wednesday night from 7-9pm in the Bishop Ireton Gym, until August 5th where we will practice 2 nights a week, Wednesday and Thursday to prepare for camp. We will be attending the Universal Cheerleading Associations Cheerleading Camp, locally at Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia on August 19th-21st from 9am - 5pm.


It is going to be a fun summer so; come on out and join us on June 10th! Hope to see you then!
