EAA’s Performance Cheer program is a recreational opportunity for athletes in 2nd through 8th grade who want to experience the excitement of performing at community events.

Performances include appearances at Omaha Beef and Omaha Storm Chasers games, giving athletes the chance to showcase their skills in front of big crowds.

With longer practices than regular Futures Cheer and a greater emphasis on technique, Performance Cheer provides athletes with the chance to grow in ability while still enjoying a fun, team-centered environment. It is the perfect program for cheerleaders who want to take on new challenges and shine on a larger stage while being part of the EAA community.
