Simpson Cheer is a competitive program that performs at all home football and basketball games. The team participates in the American Rivers Conference competition each year and is planning to move forward with performing in other outside competitions as well. Additionally, the team performs at Simpson's homecoming pep rally, "Yell Like Hell", and hosts clinics for children in the surrounding communities throughout the year. The cheer team is an extension of the athletic department and a chance for individuals to continue with the sport they love throughout their collegiate career.
