Hi Barbie!  Hi Husky! 

Thank you to the 102 little cheerleaders that joined us for this Barbie-themed cheer routine over the course of 2 performance nights. The Andover Cheer Team had a blast and we hope you all did too. See you the next time we host a clinic!

Let's Get Fired Up!

Over 75 youth cheerleaders came out to learn a routine with the Andover Cheer Team, for a combined performance that was showcased during halftime at an Andover Varsity Football game. 

No problem! Throughout the year, we have teams & clinics geared towards varied levels of athletes. Cheer fundamentals will be taught on every team, and include arm motions, jumps, and stunting. Each team will give athletes a fun way to learn new skills and develop confidence by learning how to perform in front of a crowd.   

Competition teams will have more time to learn an advanced routine and will have the opportunity to perform at multiple cheer competitions.

More information to come.
