The Bainbridge High School varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders will host the first-ever Bearcat Cheer Clinic for fifth, sixth, seventh and eigth graders. The clinic will be held May 2 through May 4 at the Decatur County Memorial Coliseum.

The clinic will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on all three days, with a cheer exhibition to wrap things up at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 4.
