Bigfork Youth Cheer is an exciting extracurricular program exclusively for 7th and 8th grade students at Bigfork Middle School. Founded in 2023 by Aleisha Rust, the program focuses on building teamwork, school spirit, confidence, and cheer skills in a fun, supportive environment.

Participants learn choreography, cheers, and performance routines to support Bigfork Middle School events and showcase their Viking/Valkyrie pride. 

If you are interested in becoming a part of our cheer team registration starts in April and closes in May due to timing of ordering uniforms made specifically for your athlete. However, as a program we are willing to work with athletes after this date, though cost of uniform may be increased per our manufacturer. 

As an unfunded program, we rely on community support to cover costs like uniforms, music, props, and event expenses—allowing us to keep participation accessible to all interested Vikings and Valkyries.

If you’re interested in sponsoring Bigfork Youth Cheer—whether through financial contributions, in-kind donations (like gear or services), or other support—your generosity makes a big difference for our middle school athletes. We’d love to discuss partnership opportunities!
