Our cheer teams will be cheering for the CJT home football games. All home games will be played at the Cary Jr. High School. The football season will begin around the end of August extending through early November. We will share game schedules as soon as
they are available. Cheering at football games is not optional and is a mandatory team commitment. We use this time to support our football teams and strengthen the skills our cheerleaders learn at practice.
 
**Teams compete at ICA competitions with the goal to earn a bid to the ICA State Championship. Athletes whose teams qualify are expected to participate**
