We begin our performance/fundraising year at the end of July following tryouts. Returning volunteers get to know new teammates during a three-day college cheerleading camp in Southern California. Some of our volunteers are college age like most campers, but most people with CHEER SF range in age from their mid-20s to mid-40s.

Skills and routines are developed for performances year round at structured, challenging and fun Tuesday night practices. Volunteers head to practice from jobs ranging from teachers, nurses and lawyers to retail managers, computer programmers, counselors and every other type of profession.

The team works together to develop cutting-edge cheerleading routines for annual events like the SF Italian Heritage Day Parade in the fall, Cal basketball games in the winter and pride festivals and parades in spring and summer. Throughout the year CHEER SF enjoys the challenge of preparing for corporate events, fundraisers, parties and more. When we are called upon to perform and fundraise we love to answer the call!

At the end of the year in late June the team celebrates with a special awards night where over $100,000 has been given away to over 40 charities during the past few years.

Our CHEER FOR LIFE efforts year-round is a labor of love that we embrace and cherish.
