Welcome to FRAA Recreational Cheer!

We are excited to offer recreational cheerleading for students in 1st through 6th grade. In being a part of a cheer team, your child will learn dance, tumbling, and stunting skills along with how to work together as a team, show spirit and support for one another, and make lifelong friends. We are looking forward to a great season of hard work and fun!

Our Mission

FRAA cheerleading was created on the principles of inclusivity and creating opportunities for students in the Franklin Regional school district. The recreational cheer squads will work together to represent a unified Franklin Regional school district by demonstrating friendship, practicing leadership, and promoting school spirit. The program builds the foundations of long-term success for Franklin Regional middle school and high school cheer programs.
