Why Join & What to Expect?

The goal of Basilica’s CYO cheer program is to develop cheerleading skills and participate in fun physical fitness while maintaining a strong commitment to our Catholic values. Through practice and performance, team members develop the means of self-discipline, sportsmanship, leadership and social responsibility. Players develop a sense of pride in their team and the community while having fun in a safe and rewarding environment.

CYO cheer participants have an opportunity to boost school and church spirit by fostering positivity and pride and church and school. CYO cheer participants will support CYO middle school basketball games during the winter season, as well as church and community events. The season ends with a diocesan competition hosted by Bishop Ireton in mid-March.
