Lansing families: Mini Spirit Clinic is back for Winter 2026! This fun, high-energy experience gives our youngest Lions a chance to learn cheer routines alongside Lansing High School cheerleaders and perform in front of a hometown crowd.
Two separate clinics will be offered: one for Lansing Elementary students in grades K–3 and one for Lansing Intermediate students in grades 4–5. Each clinic includes two after-school practice sessions, a special Mini Spirit t-shirt, snacks, and a performance prior to a varsity basketball game at Lansing High School.
Lansing Elementary Mini Spirit (Grades K–3)
Clinic Dates: Wednesday & Thursday, January 21–22, 2026

Mini Spirit participants will be picked up from their classroom hallways by the high school cheerleaders and walked to the Elementary Gym. Parents/guardians should pick students up promptly at 5:15 p.m. inside the Elementary Gym, entering through Door 17. For safety reasons, students cannot be released to leave on their own.
