Season

Tonka Cheer consists of two consecutive seasons: sideline (fall) and competition (winter). The program runs from May-mid February. The team practices three times per week throughout the season.

Sideline cheerleading (fall) involves cheering at Skippers varsity football games, performing at pep fests and homecoming activities. Sideline cheerleading is a Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) registered activity which serves to boost school spirit, promote good sportsmanship and develop positive crowd involvement.
Competition cheerleading (winter) involves MHS representation in local, regional and national cheerleading competitions. Involves travel (MN, regional and national) to camps and competitions, including the UCA Cheerleading Camp in Pennsylvania in August and the UCA National High School Cheerleading Championships in Orlando, Florida in February.
