Idaho Cheer Prep Teams are a great way to enter the sport. Their season is a year long commitment starting in June and ending in May however we do accept enrollments throughout the season (when possible). Prep & Novice teams perform at local events, parades and competitions all year round. These teams practice 1.5-2 hours per week depending on their age. The monthly tuition for  limited travel teams will be $150 per month. This will includes competition fees, music and choreography. The one time uniform cost is $165.

​

• It is a great introduction to cheer and will train your athlete in the skills needed to be a competitive cheerleader, without the costs of intense competition and travel.  Enjoy all the aspects of competitive cheer with less time and financial obligations.
