Cheer
The South Haven Rocket Cheerleading program is built on South Haven's oldest traditions promoting accountability, communication, leadership, strength, team work and confidence.
The program consists of students in grades K-6th striving together to become better athletes. All participants come from various backgrounds in sideline cheer, gymnastics and dance.
Our purpose is to promote school spirit into the student body and South Haven fans at all of our Rocket Football games.
Practices are 2 days a week starting in August.
