Our coaches are also planning on having optional squad meet ups at some other sports games to give our girls more varied experiences and support a variety of sports.  In 2025, we attended a weeknight UAHS Girls' Volleyball game to cheer and it was very fun!

Practice location:
​Northam Field (near the St. Agatha parking lot adjacent to the playground) in Upper Arlington, Ohio.   

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.
  • Games: 1:00pm 
​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. 

Parent Expectations

  1. Parents are required to stay at the field during the duration of cheer practices and games.  If you are unable to stay, please arrange a plan for your child and another adult in case of surprise thunderstorms like last year!

  3. Download the TeamSnap app and check it for communications/schedules. 
  4. Be kind!  The coaches are parent-volunteers. Our high school cheerleaders are volunteers.  The football coaches are volunteers.  We cannot run these programs without volunteer support.  We would love extra help if you are willing in any capacity!
