Thank you for showing interest in the Dartmouth Middle School cheerleading program. We are a competitive cheer team that invites male and female athletes of all skill levels to join. While no experience is required, we are looking for candidates with a strong sense of commitment, great work ethic, and a positive attitude! Through this sport, students will build character, morale, and practice sportsmanship.
