Question
Do cheerleaders have practice during the summer months?
Hi Michelle,
Well the short answer is most likely yes. The long answer is that it depends on your squad. Probably close to 100% of all all-star teams will have practice during the summer months in addition to camp, choreography camp, skills training etc. Most high school teams will have practice as well, along with camp. Some high school teams might not, for instance ones that only cheer for basketball, don't need to because basketball season doesn't start until November. SO, what you need to do is just ask whatever team you're looking at what they season is. For instance, my all-star team practices June-the end of March every week, except for some breaks here and there. So yeah, just ask and you'll find out the answer, but most likely - YES.
Happy Cheering!
