Cheerleading is a TEAM sport! Like any other team sport, your athlete is required to be on time to all practices and games.  Our squads practice ONE night a week, and they cheer at one game on the weekend.  The tackle season is mid-August through mid-November (depending on playoff schedules for VYI Football). Flag season (typically K/1) is mid-August through the end of October.

  • Included in program cost:
    • Practice Pack - cinch bag, T-shirt and shorts (practice uniform), water bottle
    • Squad Game bow and socks
  • Squads will be 12-20 athletes and will cheer for at least one football weight division (could be smaller depending on the number of head coaches we get this season - please consider volunteering if possible).
  • Squads are grouped by grade.
  • Games are typically at Waters Field in Vienna on Fridays and Saturdays. Very occasionally games are played on Sundays. 
  • Additional items are required to complete the uniform (suggested items in links):
    • black crop top (this is long sleeve turtleneck worn under uniform top - https://www.omnicheer.com/shop/body-basics/cheerleading-bodysuits/chasse-cropped-bodysuit_8432)
    • black briefs, boy cut is popular (worn under skirt - https://www.omnicheer.com/shop/body-basics/cheerleading-briefs/chasse-boy-cut-brief_8430). Any shorts work as long as they can't be seen when the skirt is on. Nike pros, any tumble shorts, spandex gymnastic shorts, etc. would work.
    • solid black sports bra (worn under crop top) - if needed (https://www.omnicheer.com/shop/body-basics/sports-bras/chasse-racerback-sports-bra_br326)
    • solid black, full-length, leggings
    • all-white outdoor Cheer shoes (https://www.omnicheer.com/shop/cheerleading-shoes)
    • clear rain jacket or poncho - used for rain games (we cheer in rain!)
    • Senior squad only (7/8) -VYI cheer warm-up jacket (required) and VYI cheer backpack (recommended)
  • Squads will be formed by mid-August. Cheer weekly practices will start the first week of FCPS.
  • Please be sure you are familiar with the VYI Refund Policy.
  • We will do our best to accommodate special requests, but we cannot guarantee they will be fulfilled.
  • Please consider signing up as early as possible so we can start to form teams and order shirts/shorts for practice outfits. Sizes can not be guaranteed if registration occurs after June 1.

Call for Coaches

VYI Cheer is seeking volunteer head, assistant, and junior coaches (high school age) for our Fall Cheer programs - the more coaches we have the smaller we can make our squads this year. No experience is required! Please email us for more information.
