✨ Program Options

 

πŸ’™ Non-Competitive Cheer 

 

Non-competitive cheer is a wonderful way to learn all about cheerleading in a fun and supportive environment.

Teams attend competitions as an exhibition group to showcase their skills β€” but they don’t compete against other teams. Instead of focusing on scores or rankings, the emphasis is on:

 

  • Teamwork

  • Learning new skills

  • Building confidence

  • Having fun


πŸ† Competitive Cheer

 

Competitive cheer is an exciting opportunity to:

 

  • Learn advanced skills

  • Build confidence

  • Showcase hard work in competitions

 

Athletes train year-round to perfect stunts, tumbling, jumps, and choreography, while developing teamwork, discipline, and leadership.

Each routine is carefully designed to highlight strength, creativity, and synchronization. Beyond trophies and titles, competitive cheer builds lasting friendships, resilience, and a strong work ethic that carries into everyday life.

 


🌟 Inspiration Cheer

 

Inspiration Cheer is designed for children with disabilities who want the opportunity to learn new cheer skills, grow in confidence, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

While there is no competition, athletes still get the exciting opportunity to showcase their skills.

It’s a place to shine, build friendships, and celebrate every achievement β€” because every child deserves their moment in the spotlight.

The Inspiration Team serves athletes ages 5–21 with special needs, providing:

 

  • Team belonging

  • Skill development

  • Supportive peer connections

  • A fun, empowering experience


πŸ† Competitive Opportunities

 

Competitive athletes may compete locally, with opportunities to advance to Regionals and Nationals (out of state).

Milford has proudly competed at the national level for over 12 years, earning:

πŸ… 11 National Championship Titles
