Jaguars Spirit Athletes (JSA) is a cheerleading club located in Jyväskylä. We offer cheerleading for almost all ages. Our youngest members are four years old, and our oldest are over fifty. We have a wide range of cheer teams: you can choose whether you want to have fun once a week or train goal-oriented and compete. We offer both recreational and competitive teams at all levels (1–6), from beginners to national level.
Recreational teams
Do you want to practice 1–2 times per week without attending competitions? A recreational team is the right choice for you! You don’t need any previous experience to sign up. All new members can attend practices twice for free, and if cheerleading isn’t your thing, just let us know and we won’t charge you anything. However, you do need to sign up first.
You can sign up for our recreational teams HERE (please note that the information is only available in Finnish). You can also contact for more details.
Competitive teams level 1-6
Our competitive teams have tryouts in June and at the end of July or the beginning of August. The season starts in August and ends at the end of May or in June. If you would like to try out for one of our competitive teams during the season, please contact or the team directly via Instagram or email. You can find more information about the teams HERE. Click on the name of the team, and you’ll find an email address at the end of the page.
Are you an exchange student?
We welcome exchange students to our teams as well! Please contact us and tell us more about yourself and your cheerleading experience. We’ll let you know your options for joining JSA.
Do you want to coach?
Do you have coaching experience or at least national-level experience as an athlete? Please contact and tell us more about yourself and your coaching and/or cheerleading experience. After that, we’ll schedule an interview and discuss coaching opportunities further.
