Cheerleading Card Templates
Free printable cheerleading card templates — flyers, bases, backs, spotters, captains. Pick a size, drop in a photo, fill in the position, print. Standard 2.5″ × 3.5″ trading-card size for the squad swap, 3.5″ × 5″ keepsake for senior-night frames, and 9-up sheets for the whole roster.
Cheerleading runs on three seasons in one — football sideline in the fall, basketball sideline in the winter, competition season through the spring. Each season has its own picture day, its own roster, and its own senior-night tradition. The cards cover all three. Print 9-up squad sheets at football try-out time, single Enlarged cards as competition-day keepsakes, and a stack of Normal-size cards for the spring-banquet exchange.
Every position deserves its own card — Flyer, Base, Back Spot, Spotter, Captain, Co-Captain. The Position field on each card is freeform, so anything from "Senior Flyer" to "All-Star Level 4 Base" to "Sideline Captain" fits cleanly. The PDF runs locally in your browser; nothing uploads, no watermark, no account required.
Recognition that hits — beyond "Best Cheerleader"
Most cheer banquets default to one or two awards (Captain, Most Improved). Squads that use the Enlarged card for season-end recognition tend to spread it around by role. A short list that consistently lands well at the spring banquet:
- Best Flyer. The crowd-favorite award. Goes to the flyer who hit every stunt clean for the season.
- Strongest Base. The base who never let her flyer fall. Underrated and almost always invisible to spectators.
- Best Back Spot. The unsung leader of the stunt group. Calls the count, owns the cradle, picks up the flyer when it goes sideways.
- Most Improved. The cheerleader who started the season at one skill level and ended at another. Bonus points if it was a stunt position change.
- Spirit Award. The pure-energy person on the squad. Football game in 25-degree weather, half-empty stands — still bringing it.
- Tumbling Standout. The squad member who carried the difficulty score in routine.
- Captain's Award. The captain or co-captain — usually a senior. The Enlarged 3.5″ × 5″ size is what most banquets pair with the gift.
- Senior Send-Off. One per graduating senior. Print these as a set in matching team colors and frame them all together for the squad room.
