2024-2025 Viking Cheer and Dance
The Cheer and Dance squads help to promote school spirit during the boys' basketball season, as well as demonstrate their athletic and dance talents. The cheerleaders attend and cheer at all FVC games. The Dance team performs at all home games. The Cheer team is divided into 7th and 8th grade squads. The Dance team is made up of both 7th and 8th grade girls. We have three coaches working with the squads to help the girls become confident working in front of a crowd and develop team skills.
Cheer and Dance is open to 7th and 8th grade girls. Clinics and tryouts were held at the end of the 2023-2024 school year in May. Cheer and Dance practice will begin in October and meet daily. Each team member is expected to attend all practices and games. Practices will be held every day after school. Both Cheer and Dance will participate in a Fox Valley Conference Exhibition event. A complete schedule can be found below.
Each squad member will receive a uniform (skirt and shell) which will be turned in at the end of the season. In addition, each member will be responsible for purchasing socks, bows and spankies. There will be a meeting prior to the first practice to review color requirements and purchasing options. It is important that all girls wear the same uniform and accessories. Accessories generally run up to $70, in addition to the $100 athletic fee.
