Youth Cheer

WRS is excited for the start of it's 10th season!

Cheerleaders at White River Sports have been cheering for basketball each season for the past 8 years. The cheerleaders bring energy and spirit to our Saturday game-day experience. The cheerleaders make the games come alive for the spectators.

Cheerleading is offered ONLY in the winter seasons. And we are always looking for energetic and enthusiastic coaches.  For the 2nd year it is being offered for grades K-8!

Anyone is eligible to apply to coach in the league.  However, we do complete background checks on all coaching applicants and reserve the right to accept or decline coaches on the basis of our discretion.
