Eden Prairie Youth Cheer is a community-focused cheerleading program designed for students in grades 1-8 (as of Fall 2025). Whether your child is brand new to cheerleading or already has some experience, our program provides a supportive and exciting environment to learn and grow. Participants will practice twice a week, cheer at Eden Prairie Football Association (EPFA) home games, and develop skills in tumbling, stunting, and cheer fundamentals.

Our mission is to build confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills in a fun and structured setting. There are no cuts during tryouts, and all teams are divided by grade level, ensuring that every participant has a chance to shine.
