Are You Interested in becoming a Missouri Wolverine?
The Missouri Wolverines take great pride in teaching young athletes the sport of cheerleading. We welcome both new and experienced cheerleaders to find out more information about our program which can be found throughout our website.
Still Undecided? Before you and your child commit to a cheering for a full season, see if cheerleading is right for your child. The Missouri Wolverines highly recommend Northland Youth Cheer Camp. The camp is a great opportunity for new cheerleaders to see if they like cheering in a fun, 4 night camp. The camp is affordable and allows parents to attend and watch. The camp is also great for experienced cheerleaders as well looking to get ready for the upcoming season.

Cheerleading is a sport! It's a hard sport. It takes dedication, building skills, and teamwork to be a successful squad. We will practice jumps such as: herkies, pikes, and toe touches. Our legs must be straight, our toes, must be pointed, and a smile on our face at all times! Along with jumps, we practice stunting. Our bases, backs, and flyers each have a goal depending on the position. If the girls do their jobs, the stunts hit their marks and just when you think you've had enough we challenge our girls a little more. We continue to learn cheers, chants, and arm motions. We continue yelling our words and hitting each motion. Our coaches expect the girls to be louder, faster, and sharper with each passing practice. Our girls are working hard. We show off our talents and our skills we have perfected to our family, our team, and the crowd. But what makes it all worth while is seeing the crowd get rowdy! The team get excited! And our parent, family, players, football coaches, and friends recognize our hard work and dedication!
