Incoming 6th Grade Cheerleaders (2026 Season)
Announcement:
Dear Families,
We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to share an important update regarding participation in middle school sideline cheerleading for the upcoming season.
After thoughtful consideration, we have decided that incoming 6th grade athletes will no longer participate at the middle school level for sideline cheerleading. Moving forward, middle school cheer will be limited to incoming 7th and 8th grade athletes. This decision was made with the best interest of our athletes in mind. We believe it is important for our cheerleaders to support and cheer on their peers while also allowing for development of maturity—both physically and emotionally—at an appropriate pace.
Incoming 6th grade athletes are encouraged to register for Lil Vikes Cheerleading by May 10th, with uniform fittings scheduled for May 17th. This program is designed to provide a strong foundation and a positive, age-appropriate environment for skill development.
We are excited to share that our varsity cheerleaders, along with dedicated Lil Vikes coaches, are committed to supporting the growth of our 5th and 6th grade teams. Athletes will receive more individualized attention this upcoming season, with instruction in fundamental skills such as stunting, jumping, and tumbling—helping to prepare them for future success at the middle school level and beyond.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to provide the best experience for all of our athletes.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to myself, Christian Subdon, or the Lil Vikes Board.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Best wishes,
Coach Karlie Sika
