2025 COMPETITION & sideline cheer
We are a coed SIDELINE AND COMPETITIVE CHEER ICA program open to all boys and girls K-8th grade. Jr Warriors cheer thrives on teaching children the fundamentals of cheer both at sidelINE and competitive levels. Athletes are taught what it means to be part of a team and prepare them for their transition into High School programs. Competition cheer’s focus is to build a competitive team and compete at competitions against other squads. In competitions, teams are judged by a panel of cheerleading experts on difficulty and execution of their routine. Typically you have to perform a 2 and one-half minute routine with music that includes stunts, jumps, tumbling and a variety of exaggerated facial expressions.

*Competitive ADDITIONAL COSTS: If BID is won to state the fee is $175 per cheerleader! We are hoping to offset some of that cost with fundraising throughout the season.
*All of our competitions will be through the Illinois Cheer Association (ICA). Squads will
compete in 3 or 4 local competitions. When a squad wins a competition, or in some
instances, beats a certain score, they will receive a "bid" and qualify to compete at the State
Championship.
The State Championship will be held at the NIU Convocation Center the second
weekend in November.
