Fall Cheer

Fall Cheer will start tryouts on the first day the students are in school. Any female or male student can tryout. You must have a recent physical to participate in tryouts, no exceptions so plan ahead. During tryouts on Monday through Wednesday they will learn jumps, a dance and cheer. Thursday will be an actual tryout with judges and then cuts will be made. We will have a Varsity and JV composing of about 22 - 24 members. We cheer at the home football games. It is a short season but an important one to condition and prepare for our longer season and European competition during Winter Cheer. Over the summer stretching, core exercises, and leg & arm strengthening will help you prepare for the season. 

Cross Country

The boys and girls cross country teams start practice on the first day the students are in school. We hope all runners will do some running over the summer but we work with all levels from those that have never run before to those that have competed in races. It's a great way to see a different side of England, Germany and Belgium as well as meet some terrific people. Final competition is usually held in Baumholder, Germany with several other European DoDEA schools. Come join the Cross Country family.

Football

The Lancers are part of Division I DoDEA football. The team competes yearly against Ramstein, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, Kaiserslautern, and Vilseck. The season runs from mid-August through early November, culminating in the finals which take place in Germany. The football team has both a Varsity and Junior Varsity program and any student that attends Lakenheath High School is encouraged to play. Football equipment will be distributed beginning early August along with 2 a day practices. Tryouts for football run from the first day of school through the first week. 

Tennis

Lakenheath Lancer Tennis is a Fall sport with tryouts beginning the first day of school. Come out even if you are new to tennis! No prior experience needed. We have both a boys and girls team. Our practices will take place at the fenced tennis courts behind the running track and near the Red Cross offices. Your own tennis racquet is required and shoes made for tennis are recommended. Each school year, players who perform well have the opportunity to attend Europeans in Wiesbaden, Germany. As with all athletics, you will need to have a recent physical on file in order to participate.

Girls Volleyball

The Girl's Volleyball Team has tryouts the first week of school. The team may also offer summer opportunities. The team competes in DoDEA Division 1 competitions, travelling throughout Belgium and Germany on a regular basis. We look forward to seeing you come out this fall!

Boys Volleyball

Lakenheath High School offered the first Boys Volleyball Team in DoDEA Europe East and West. The team competed last year in the DoDEA South Championships. In coming years we expect a schedule combining DoDEA South along with some schools in Germany, such as Ramstein, Vilseck, and Black Forest Academy. We welcome all potential athletes.

Golf

The golf team practices and competes at Breckland Pines Golf Club. They typically have competitions in ROTA and Germany as well. Try outs start the first day of school with Championships usually in the beginning of October. We look forward to seeing everyone out.
