SYA EXTREME is a year-round, competitive cheerleading opportunity, within the SYA Cheerleading Program.
OPPORTUNITY: Our SYA Extreme Competition Cheer program provides athletes the opportunity for dedicated training in one of the fastest growing, competitive, and skilled sports today. In May/June, athletes may choose to be evaluated for placement in our SYA Extreme Competition Cheer program. Those selected will spend the late summer and fall cheering for SYA football teams, as well as learning choreography and preparing for the competitive cheer season during the winter and early spring. SYA Extreme competes locally, regionally, and nationally.
GOAL: Our SYA Extreme Competition Cheer program strives to build strong athletes and responsible citizens. Our goal is for athletes to walk away from their competitive cheer experience having learned the value of confidence, teamwork, dedication, discipline, compromise, respect, friendship, work ethic, and high moral standards.
COACHES: SYA Extreme Competition Cheer Coaches are dedicated to developing a successful competition team and to help prepare our athletes for placement on their high school cheer team. Our Extreme Competition Cheer Head Coaches have completed the USA Cheer Safety and Risk Management safety course offered by USA Cheer. Our Cheer Commissioner is a registered and certified member of USA Cheer.
TRAINING: SYA Cheer provides all athletes with training in traditional cheer technique, to include jumps, motions, and basic stunting. Our Extreme Competition Cheer program continues to build on these skills and provides additional training in more advanced cheer technique, to include stunting, dance, and tumbling.
TEAM LEVELS: Our Extreme Competition Program currently fields competition cheer teams at the following levels:
Level 1 (mini and youth) – Extreme Mist, Extreme Tornado, and Extreme Lightning
Level 2.1/2 (junior) – Extreme Heatwave and Extreme Storm
Level 3 (junior and senior) – Extreme Frost and Extreme Thunder
Level 4 (senior) – Extreme Black Ice
PRACTICES: All Extreme Competition Cheer Team practices are held at our gym facility located at 13941 Willard Road in Chantilly, Virginia. Teams practice one evening during the school week and one day each weekend. Extra practices may be scheduled as needed by the SYA Extreme Coaching Staff to prepare for competition.
TUMBLING CLASSES, PRIVATE LESSONS, AND OPEN GYMS: SYA Extreme offers tumbling classes, private lessons, and open gyms at our gym facility. Classes, private lessons, and open gyms are open to everyone. There is no gym membership fee for SYA Extreme.
