EAA Recreational Cheer - Elkhorn Futures Cheer

EAA Cheer provides opportunities for athletes of all ages and skill levels, starting with Futures Cheer, a recreational program that is sideline-focused and emphasizes building confidence, teamwork, and school spirit in a fun and supportive environment. Athletes learn the fundamentals of motions, jumps, and cheers while experiencing the excitement of cheering on the sidelines, all while building friendships and creating positive memories.

For athletes ready to take their skills to the next level, EAA offers competitive cheer teams that provide advanced training, choreography, and performance opportunities at local and regional events. These programs emphasize precision, leadership, and athletic development, giving cheerleaders the chance to grow both on and off the mat while representing EAA with pride.

WHO WE AREOUR PHILOSOPHY

DEVELOPING THE PERSON:
At EAA Cheer, we believe that cheerleading is about more than just chants and routines—it’s about building strong, confident young people. Our coaches are dedicated to helping athletes grow in character as well as skill, teaching the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. We see the sidelines, the mat, and every practice as opportunities to instill values like leadership, positivity, and resilience—qualities that extend far beyond cheer. By fostering an encouraging and supportive environment, we strive to help each athlete become not only a better cheerleader, but also a confident and well-rounded individual.

DEVELOPING THE ATHLETE:
EAA is committed to giving every cheerleader the chance to thrive by providing quality instruction, structured skill development, and opportunities to perform at both recreational and competitive levels. From teaching the basics in Futures Cheer to advanced stunting and choreography in competitive programs, we emphasize progression, safety, and a love for the sport. Our goal is to ensure every athlete feels supported, challenged, and celebrated as they improve their skills and grow in confidence. Whether on the sidelines or on the competition floor, we want each cheerleader to experience the joy of achievement, the strength of teamwork, and the pride of representing EAA.
