The cheerleaders will practice for about 35-40 minutes, then have a short break before moving to their assigned fields for the tackle football games.
  • Practice: 12:15pm
  • We walk as a group from the practice spot to the assigned football game.

​There will be one optional add-on game at Upper Arlington High School's Youth Night (one Friday in September). It is A LOT of fun for the cheerleaders!

There will be no practice/game scheduled for the day after UAHS Homecoming.

Recreation Cheerleading

Our traditional collegiate style cheerleading is based on the cheers performed at Upper Arlington High School, as well as Jones and Hastings Middle Schools.

​Our cheerleaders do not stunt or do pyramids.  We do jumps, dances, cheers, and crowd chants.
