programs & teams
Upper Valley Cheer offers non-competitive cheer programs organized by local school communities and age groups.
Athletes cheer for their local Grid Kid football teams while building confidence, friendships, and strong cheer fundamentals.
No tryouts. No experience required. Everyone cheers.

Teams are based on local school communities
- Each community has age-based teams
- Athletes are placed by grade, not skill level
