About Our Program

UMS-Wright offers many opportunities for cheerleading participation. As early as K3, girls can show their school spirit and support our athletes by being a cheerleader. Our Baby Bulldog program includes girls in K3 - 2nd grade who participate in a clinic led by the Middle School, JV, and Varsity Cheerleaders on a Saturday in August. The Baby Bulldogs perform during a varsity football pre-game show, participate in the annual homecoming parade, and perform during one varsity basketball half-time. Girls may continue cheerleading in third through sixth grades as cheerleaders for the Bulldog Athletic Association football teams. BAA Cheerleaders attend a clinic in early June and cheer during games that are held in the fall.

Tryouts for the 7th grade squad, the 8th grade squad, JV (9th &10th graders), and Varsity (11th &12th graders) Cheerleading tryouts are usually held in late March. All four squads attend the UCA camp together each summer. Throughout the year, the squads cheer at football games, participate in various service activities, organize and attend pep rallies, and assist with the Baby Bulldogs and B.A.A. 

Our Varsity Basketball Cheerleading Squad is for girls in 9th to 12th grade. This team is separate from the football squads and attends both the Varsity Girls' and Varsity Boys' Basketball Games. Girls who are interested don’t need prior experience in stunting or tumbling. This program offers Fall Weekend Cheer Camp! 

Our 3rd-6th-grade cheerleading programs also paint banners for all sports and engage in numerous other activities.

The cheerleading program at UMS-Wright is highly rewarding but requires a significant amount of hard work and dedication. It is a great honor to be a UMS-Wright cheerleader!
