CHEERLEADING SEASON
The CMS Minergirls begin each new season with tryouts the first week of August each year, with summer workouts offered in July. Immediately following making the team, the Minergirls attend camp and prepare for the season. Both 7th and 8th grade football cheerleaders cheer from August through October every Wednesday.

Basketball Cheerleading is a winter sport, from November to March. We cheer for these sports, as well as participate in various pep rallies and events here at CMS and our feeder schools. CMS Minergirls make a commitment to being the best of the best in our sport!
