Mini Gophers Cheer Clinic

Bring the energy! The University of Minnesota Cheerleaders are coming to Minnetonka High School to lead a high-spirited, game-day style cheer clinic designed just for elementary and middle school athletes. 

This fun and interactive two-hour session focuses on sharp motions, chants, sideline routines, game-day traditions, and building confidence—all taught by Division I athletes who know how to get a crowd on its feet.

Participants will learn essential cheer fundamentals, practice real game-day material used by the Gophers, and enjoy upbeat team-building activities. The clinic is perfect for beginners and experienced cheerleaders alike who want to strengthen their skills and experience what it’s like to cheer on a Big Ten team.

At the end of the clinic, families are invited to watch a short sideline-style showcase featuring what the students learned. 

We hope you join us for an afternoon of spirit, motion technique, and game-day fun—Gopher style!
