Kindergarteners through eighth graders have the opportunity to learn cheer skills at Saugus High School’s cheer clinic fundraiser in September.

Hosted by Saugus High School’s cheerleading squads, the clinic offers a fun learning experience with the award-winning Saugus cheerleaders, who will teach the children basic jumps and chants.

There will also be team- and spirit-building activities, and the clinic will finish with a special performance for parents and friends.

Participants will also have an opportunity to perform during halftime at a Saugus varsity football game in October.

The clinic is scheduled to be on Sunday, Sept. 20 from 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. in the Saugus High School gym.

Each participant will receive a Saugus Cheer Clinic T-shirt, snacks and a photo with a Saugus cheerleader.

Participants will also be invited to show off their new skills in a performance during halftime of a Friday night Saugus football game Oct. 9 at College of the Canyons.

Space is limited, and pre-registration is available for $35 per child through Sept. 9, with a postmark deadline of Sept. 7.

Late or walk-in registration will be offered for $40 on a space-available basis and late registrants are not guaranteed a T-shirt.

Proceeds benefit Saugus cheer programs.

Registration forms are available online at Saugus High School Cheer’s website.
