📣 Shine with the Jr. Whip-Purs: 2026 Cheer Registration
Become the heartbeat of the sidelines! The Hampshire Jr. Whip-Pur Cheer Program is more than just cheers and pom-poms; it’s where athleticism, leadership, and lifelong friendships take center stage. Our girls begin cheering at 5 years old and can go all the way until high school.
Why Cheer with the Jr. Whip-Purs?
We take pride in being the "Face of the Program." Our mission is to build empowered, confident athletes who are ready for the next level.
The Path to Pro: We specifically align our training to prepare athletes for Hampshire and Dundee Middle Schools, and eventually Hampshire High School.
Flexible "Sideline-First" Approach: Our program is designed to be active but flexible, allowing your athlete plenty of time to participate in other sports.
No Boundaries: Looking for even more? We have no restrictions on athletes joining outside competitive organizations during our season.
What Your Athlete Will Master
Our curriculum is built on a foundation of safety and progression:
The Fundamentals: Expert instruction in motions, jumps, chants, and stunting.
Tumbling & Dance: Introduction to cartwheels, handstands, and back handsprings, paired with high-energy halftime choreography.
Athletic Excellence: We focus on core strength, flexibility, and the endurance needed to lead a crowd from kickoff to the final whistle.
Safety First: Every stunt is taught with proper spotting techniques by safety-trained staff.
Beyond the Sideline: Building Life Skills
Cheerleading is a masterclass in leadership. Our athletes grow in:
Confidence: There is no better way to build self-esteem than performing for a community that's cheering right back at you.
Teamwork: Learning that every stunt and routine depends on the person standing next to you.
Leadership: Opportunities to lead chants and mentor younger squad members as captains.
The 2026 Commitment
We respect your family’s time while ensuring our squad is game-day ready.
Practices: Twice a week until school starts, then moving to just once a week during the school year.
Game Days: One game per weekend (Saturdays or Sundays). This includes 4 home games, 2+ away games, and potential post-season excitement!
Community Spirit: Join us for local parades, pep rallies, and events where the Jr. Whip-Purs take center stage.
A Note for Our Parents
The energy on the field starts with the support in the stands! We are a community-driven program and are always looking for encouraging parents to join our coaching staff. No experience? No problem—we provide the training to help you lead.
