Wylie Cheer
Kinder-6th Grade
Wylie Cheer
The Wylie Cheer program is a recreational program that focuses on cheerleading, fundamentals, and sideline cheering for our tackle football teams. Participants do not need to try out and do not need any prior cheer experience. Returning and new participants will be placed on squads based on their grade level. Our cheer squads consist of participants in grades Kinder - 6th grade.
The Fall Tackle Game Season runs from August through November each year.
