2017 Cheer Clinic

Sep 7, 2017

On Saturday, August 19, more than 250 athletes, coaches, and volunteers from 16 OKC schools tumbled into Heritage Hall for the 2nd Annual OKCPS Cheer Clinic.

The clinic was funded and coordinated by a Fields & Futures cheerleading committee of 10 community volunteers. Thanks to their efforts, the second-year event saw a 40% increase in athlete/coach attendance over the previous year, helping fulfill a Fields & Futures goal to get more kids on teams in every sport.

Varsity teamed up with Fields & Futures to provide top notch instruction to all athletes in attendance. The squads started with the basics and ended the day performing their favorite cheers and chants in front of their peers.

Many OKCPS Varsity Cheer Squads will be attending the OSSAA Gameday Competition on September 9th at Moore High School. With the help from the Varsity staff, the squads are taking what they learned from the clinic and will be performing it in front of a huge crowd at Gameday Competition!

Thank you to all of our sponsors for making the day completely free of charge for ALL cheerleading programs in Oklahoma City Public Schools.

Cheers!

Keeping Girls in the Game: Supporting Female Student-Athletes Matters More Than Ever

Every spring, OKCPS sports fields and tracks buzz with the energy and promise of a new season. Yet behind this excitement lies a troubling trend: sports participation among female students drops by 8% as they transition to high school, while boys' participation jumps to 35%. Find out why keeping girls in the game when they're at their most vulnerable is one of our biggest priorities and what we're doing to put more girls on more teams.

Swinging Into Spring Sports

Spring sports are in full swing in Oklahoma City Public Schools, and it's the busiest sports season of the year. 4,176 OKCPS students played sports last spring, and that number is certain to be even higher this year. This spring, Fields & Futures programs will support coaches and athletes participating in track & field, golf, soccer, and cheer through OKCPS, the YMCA, and OKC PAL.
