We’d love for you to be a part of our DSAGC Cheerleading program! Our cheer squad is open to anyone in grades K – 12. Each cheerleader receives a uniform and pompoms. Our squads have practices in October/November timeframe where they learn a custom dance routine. Then, the squad will have dozens of opportunities to perform throughout winter. Cheerleaders are required to attend practices, but not required to attend every performance. We have multiple performances, so families can attend ones that fit their schedules best.
Typically, we perform at halftime of high school basketball games alongside the high school cheerleading squad. However, we’ve also performed at colleges, minor league baseball games, talent shows, and more! We’ve even partnered with the Cincinnati Ben-Gals for a special night. The dates and times of these performances will be released by the coaches after practices (as this takes a lot of time to coordinate each year). We try to schedule performances in the schools / districts / neighborhoods of our cheerleaders. Be sure to fill out that section of the registration, so we can try to work with your school’s athletic department!
Our Cheerleading program continues to grow each year – we have over 50 cheerleaders! This program provides a dynamic experience to empower individuals with Down syndrome to SHINE. Through tailored routines and a supportive environment, participants gain confidence, build meaningful relationships, and develop important life skills. For many, cheerleading becomes more than just an activity—it’s a source of joy, empowerment, and a celebration of their abilities!
