Cheerleading Middle School/JV Open Gym


Lakeville Cheerleading / Cheer Open Gyms -
Enrichment Winter/Spring 2026

Athletes currently in grades 4-8th

We highly recommended this class. Our open gyms are designed for both new and returning members that are interested in cheering for a competition team such as Middle School. Open gyms will be semi structured to ensure all members are getting opportunities to participate but will also allow for athletes flexibility to work on desired skills to prepare for tryouts.
