Cheer
The heartbeat of team spirit.
The St. James Difference
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, we'll instill skill development and proper technique to maximize flexibility, coordination, and strength. They'll be free to learn, grow, stumble, and realize their dreams – no matter the level of cheer, each athlete will be set up for success.
