Black Squad - Elementary Exhibition Cheer Team


Lakeville Cheerleading / Elementary School -
Enrichment Spring/Summer 2025

NEW! BLACK SQUAD – Recreational Cheer Team

Grades: 4–6 (2025–2026 School Year)

Tryouts: Not Required

Join the BLACK SQUAD — our most advanced recreational elementary cheer team for athletes in grades 4–6! This squad bridges the gap between beginner-level cheer and our Elementary Competitive teams. It’s the perfect place for athletes ready to level up their skills without the full commitment of competition cheer.

Designed to build confidence and technique, this team will focus on foundational elements of a traditional cheer routine, including:

  • Jumps
  • Tumbling (beginner/intermediate)
  • Stunting basics
  • Team synchronization and formations

While competitive in spirit, BLACK SQUAD remains recreational in structure — with a lighter practice and event schedule — making it ideal for athletes eager to improve in a supportive environment.

Performances:BLACK SQUAD will showcase their progress at 3–4 local exhibitions throughout the season. These fun, low-pressure events allow athletes to perform in front of an audience and celebrate their growth as a team.

Note: Strong attendance is key to team success! Consistent practice participation helps athletes build trust, timing, and skills together.
