Saint Ignatius Cheerleading is focused on developing confidence in our young cheerleaders while entertaining the crowd and showing spirit for the Saint Ignatius Football team. St Ignatius cheerleading organization is a non-competitive recreational team. No previous cheerleading or tumbling experience required to participate. Cheerleaders will learn cheers, beginner jumps, and a dance routine.
The cheerleading season starts in late July and runs through October( through November for older grades). The season is kicked off with a Cheer Camp held in Saint Ignatius parking lot. Cheerleaders learn a dance at this camp that will be performed at Saint Ignatius Home field football games. Practices extend through August. Practices are once or twice per week at coach discretion. Once school starts, practices will be limited to one night per week. Older grades (4-8) can expect the season to extend through Thanksgiving depending on the play-offs and bowl games.
The cheer schedule will be determined by individual coaches and communicated to parents. Cheerleaders will expect to predominantly cheer for home games. The football game schedule is typically announced mid-August with the first game late August. St Ignatius teams play in West 1 division. For football league schedules, please see the following link

Competition Cheerleading Squads
For the 2019 cheer season, Saint Ignatius will be featuring two competition squads. Our blue squad will be open to cheerleaders from 1stand 2nd grade. Our gold squad will be open to cheerleaders from 3th and 4th grade. If your cheerleader is not in grades 1-4 for the 2019 season but is interested in competition cheer, please contact one of the cheerleading coordinators to discuss. The competition squads will be competing at the Harrison Cheer Classic in late October. The competition squads will have approximately 15-20 additional practices on top of sideline cheer practice and practices start in June. Competition cheerleaders should expect to spend approximately 3-5hrs per week at practice in September and October. Parents should carefully consider this commitment. There will be a mandatory parent meeting for interested competition cheerleaders in spring.
Please contact Saint Ignatius Cheerleading Coordinators with questions.
