SEASON 4 💛💜

 WELCOME TO THE 2026-2027 COMPETITION SEASON!

 

WHO ARE WE
The Rosenberg Panthers is a nonprofit recreational competitive cheer program.

We want all families to understand the type of program they are joining before making a commitment to our organization.

While we participate in cheer competitions and strive for excellence just like All-Star programs, we are not an All-Star gym and do not represent ourselves as one.

We are thrilled to announce that the 2026–2027 season marks the 4th competitive season for the Rosenberg Panthers! Thanks to our dedicated coaches and incredible athletes, each year has continued to build upon the last, and we are confident this will be our best season yet.

We are deeply grateful for our loyal families, hardworking staff, and the unwavering support that continues to make our growth possible. As we continue to thrive together, we are reminded of how truly blessed we are. Thank you for being a part of our Panther family.

If this is your first season with the Rosenberg Panthers WELCOME HOME! We’re excited to meet you and cannot wait for you to experience what makes our cheer program so special. For our returning athletes and families, let’s make Season 4 another unforgettable year together!

📣 New This Season!

As we transition back to REC Competition Cheer, our athletes will focus on more than just performance routines. They will also learn and practice cheers, chants, and sideline skills, which will be incorporated into their routines throughout the season.

To help prepare our athletes for success in the rec cheer divisions, all competition cheer athletes will also participate in our game day program activities, including:

Saturday games
Game day practices
Pep rallies
Homecoming events

This experience will help athletes build confidence, strengthen their performance skills, and prepare those who are interested in pursuing school cheer in the future.

Game day is FREE There will be no additional cost to participate. 

We are so excited to offer these additional opportunities and make this season even more fun and rewarding for our athletes. We can't wait to see them grow both on and off the mat! 💜💛🐾 #PantherPride
