Fundamentals of Cheer is our non-competitive cheer program that allows athletes to learn the basics of cheerleading. Our fundamentals teams are open to kids ages 5 to 12 and introduce the basics of cheer: stunting, jumps, motions, and a short routine. Athletes will spend 10 weeks working with their teams and perform at the end of the session for their parents and friends!

This program is perfect for athletes entering the world of competitive cheerleading! We’ll compete at two local events. Novice athletes are scored against their previous scores, so there is always an incentive to improve! We’ll teach a 1 minute, 30 second routine with *stunts, jumps, *pyramid, dance, and tumbling.

This program is an introduction to all star – yet offers a challenge by adding tumbling into routines! For prep cheer, we’ll compete at 3-4 local or regional events. We’ll teach a 2 minute routine with stunts, jumps, pyramid, dance, and tumbling. Our Prep Cheer is rolling enrollment and will start in September!

Cheerleading is fun and exciting for kids of all ages. It provides an outlet for all of that crazy excess energy, teaches confidence, develops balance and flexibility, and connects kids with new friends and mentors that will help them gain teamwork and leadership skills. Our team at Bay State has tons of experience creating incredible young athletes, and we’d be proud to help your child thrive, too! We prioritize learning and personal growth, helping each child meet their goals in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.
