Cheer
The heartbeat of team spirit.
Cheer for STJ
Cheer's not for the sidelines – it's right in the spotlight. The St. James cheer program builds bodies, minds, and a community by honing in on grit and flair for the ultimate squad of athlete-performers standing shoulder-to-shoulder proudly.
With a caring coaching foundation as unbreakable as a liberty lift, our youth cheer lessons will instill skill development and proper technique to maximize flexibility, coordination, and strength. Cheerleaders will be free to learn, grow, stumble, and realize their dreams – no matter the level of cheer, each athlete will be set up for success.
