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!

Daryen “DJ” Jefferson: In a Lane of His Own

Daryen "DJ" Jefferson isn't just another student-athlete at Douglass High School – he's wired a little bit differently. The high school valedictorian discovered his passion for long-distance running when he was 10 years old and hasn't looked back. As he prepares for the next chapter of his journey – college athletics – he's just hitting his stride and in a lane of his own.
