Wayne Wildcats Cheer is proud to be part of Pop Warner Little Scholars and the Bux-Mont League. Our program provides opportunities for athletes of all skill levels to grow in cheer, build confidence, and be part of a supportive team environment.
We focus on fun, fitness, and fundamentals—helping athletes develop skills in cheer, dance, and teamwork while creating lasting friendships.
Since cheerleading is a team sport, the team only succeeds when everyone is in attendance. Therefore, 100% attendance is expected at practices and games unless there is an approved absence (illness/pre-planned family events).
