Congratulations to the new 2025-2026 DMS Cheer Team
A huge THANK YOU to every athlete who showed up, gave their all, and brought their best to tryouts. We saw your effort, your energy, and your heart — Coach Cali, Coach Taryn, and Mrs.Serra are incredibly proud of you!
This was not an easy decision. The competition was strong, and the choices were tough. Please know that not making the final roster doesn't define your talent or potential. We truly encourage you to keep training, keep growing, and come back stronger next time. We’d love to see you try out again!
