Who We Are
Our Story
Drifter Athletics has always been rooted in community here in Colonial Beach. Over the years, our cheer program has seen both highs and challenges—rising to become district champions and earning trips to the state stage, while also navigating seasons of rebuilding.
In 2024, the program faced one of its toughest moments and became nonexistent. But from that point, a new chapter began.
Over the past three years, we have worked to rebuild Drifter Cheer from the ground up. What started as a vision has grown into a thriving program that now includes both sideline and competitive cheer, along with the foundation of a middle school program to support future growth.
Today, Drifter Cheer represents more than just performances and competitions—it reflects resilience, commitment, and the strength of a community coming together to build something meaningful for the next generation.
