Nelson Junior Cheer
About us
Nelson Junior Cheer is a new cheerleading program that was establish in 2024. Our program is a great place for athletes to get involved and develop skills before going onto our high school team. NJC teaches skills such as: stunting, jumping, tumbling, motions, dance and cheers. NJC not only strives to prepare athletes for high school sports but to become leaders in our community. We strive to help athletes gain confidence in them selves and as athletes. We are involved in our community by cheering on our Nelson Junior football team, fundraising events, and competing at local competitions.
We will strive for our athletes to gain confidence in themselves and have the support of their coaches. Coaches will work hard to encourage, support and lead young athletes with confidence and dedication to the sport. ALL athletes are welcomed!
