The Sapphires Cheerleading is a wonderful recreation program for new and experienced cheerleaders, ages 5 -14 years old. We take pride in focusing this program around cooperation, self confidence, respect, great friendships and all of the important foundations of cheerleading. In the past the Sapphires have supported sports teams by cheering at games and also participated in local competitions.

Our partnernership with the Portsmouth Public School Board / Lakeview Elementary School in Portsmouth, VA allowed the Sapphires to become an after-school program.
