Thank you for your interest in Maine West Cheerleading. Cheerleading at Maine West is a serious commitment and is not to be taken lightly. Please start conditioning and working on tumbling now; it will be very important for tryouts. If you have questions, please make sure that you ask prior to or on the first day of tryouts. This is a great sport to become involved in. Do not be overwhelmed or afraid to try out. We wish you the best and thanks for choosing to be part of our award winning program.
