Cheerleading
TSA Cheerleaders play a vital role in promoting school spirit and providing support for our athletic teams. Cheerleaders are athletes, and they work very hard to support our Football and Basketball teams. These girls, along with their sponsors, attend cheerleading camp each Summer. Each Fall, during football season, Varsity cheerleaders sponsor a week-long Cheerleading Clinic for Lower School girls, which culminates in an enjoyable and exciting performance during halftime at a Friday night Football game. In addition to Summer Camp and the Cheerleading Clinic, Varsity Cheerleaders plan pep rallies, paint banners, and participate in many activities that encourage school spirit. Tryouts for the football squad are held each Spring.
B-Team Cheerleading is available to 5th and 6th Graders. JV includes 7th-9th Graders and Varsity includes 10th-12th Grades.
