SSA | A Seahawks Youth Feeder Program…
SSA’s Seahawks Youth Cheer is a PHS Boosters recognized feeder program designed specifically for athletes in elementary and middle school who are eager to learn the fundamentals of cheerleading and develop their skills in this dynamic sport. This program not only serves as a foundation for aspiring cheerleaders but also prepares them with the building skills to cheer at Peninsula High School in Gig Harbor, WA. Through a combination of engaging practices, teamwork exercises, and performances, participants will build confidence, improve their physical abilities, and foster lasting friendships, ensuring a strong transition into high school cheerleading. Emphasizing both the joy of cheer as well as discipline and commitment, Seahawks Youth Cheer aims to cultivate a passion for the sport while equipping athletes with the tools they need for success at the next level.
Participation in Seahawks Youth Cheer does not guarantee placement on any high school cheer team. While we do work with high school coaches and booster programs, Seahawks Youth Cheer is not a district run program. We operate independently from Peninsula School District and it’s schools. Seahawks Youth Cheer is run entirely by parent volunteers.
