Cheerleader running with large SC flagThe cheer squad consists of both men and women and ranges in size from 12-18 members. The cheer squad is a rewarding group to be a part of and ensures many new friendships as well.

If you are an outgoing, energetic, team spirited individual, then the Simpson Cheer Squad is looking for you. The cheer squad practices a minimum of two days per week with each practice lasting approximately two hours. The cheer squad also has one of our highly accredited trainers develop a work out program tailored for them and they meet weekly to stay in physical shape to limit the possibility of injury.

The squad begins practicing the week before classes begin and continue until the first part of March. We perform at all home football games, all home basketball games, the annual Homecoming pep rally and several other performances throughout the year.

Tryouts are held in the spring and the team is selected shortly after. All candidates must be present to tryout for the cheer squad. On rare occasions a videotape tryout is accepted, only with prior approval from the coach. Follow the link for more information regarding cheer squad tryouts.
