The WILD Cheer Team
The North Crest “Wild” competitive cheer program is dedicated to developing athletes ages 5-18 in a positive, structured and high energy environment.
We proudly compete in the Open Recreational Division under Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) guidelines and utilize the United Scoring System to ensure fair, consistent and nationally recognized judging standards.
All of our coaches are certified through USA Cheer, and background and safe sport certified through USAG, reflecting our commitment to athlete safety, proper skill progression and professional instruction. Our program emphasizes teamwork, discipline, confidence and sportsmanship while helping athletes reach their full potential both on and off the mat.
We offer teams across multiple age divisions, creating opportunities for athletes of all experience levels to grow, compete and succeed in a supportive and motivating environment.
2025-2026 was the first year, after a several year hiatus, that North Crest has had a competitive Cheer team. We are proud to announce that our “Coyotes” were awarded 1st place in their division and the “Otters” were awarded 2nd place in their division at the MCCA state competition. We are very proud of these teams and their accomplishments, especially as new teams!

*Athletes under the age of 14 are eligible to try out for any team level. Final placement will be determined based on each athlete’s individual skill set and overall performance during tryouts.
Tryout Expectations:
To ensure a fair and effective evaluation process, all athletes are expected to…
-Learn and practice the required dance and cheer prior to tryouts.
-Perform both for judges on May 17th
-Participate in open stunting sessions, where coaches will evaluate: Stunting ability, Coach-ability, Teamwork and attitude.
*Please note that this will be run differently than a class as coaches will be spending more time observing athletes.
Stunting will be spotted and athletes that are new to the sport may be lightly coached to see how quickly they pick up on skills and how willing they are to trying new things. Athletes are expected to come prepared and ready to independently showcase their skills and effort.

Session 1: Beginner to intermediate *times TBA*
