Cheer team member is a career track in The Sims 4: High School Years. It is classified as an afterschool activity that is only available to teens. Completing this career track awards the Cheer Champion trait, which makes the fitness skill increase faster and guarantees an Athletics scholarship when applying to university[TS4:DU].
The team meets from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM on Monday and Wednesday for practice, and participates in a cheer competition every Thursday. Sims can progress through the career track by leveling up their fitness skill and practicing cheer with a cheer mat.
The football team members are rivals of the cheer team, and the "Rivals" relationship bit will be visible in rival Sims' profiles.

Chance Cards[]
Like all other career tracks and afterschool activities in The Sims 4, there are chance cards for the cheer team. However, one major difference is that each option the player can choose from has only one possible outcome, rather than the typical two possible outcomes: success and failure. The chance cards are available for cheer team members at any level, and appear on practice days. Six of the chance cards are generic, meaning they are available to all four afterschool activities. The two other chance cards are specific to the cheer team. There are no fame chance cards.
On Thursdays, Sims will participate in a cheer competition. A pop-up notification similar to regular chance cards will appear, informing the player of whether their team lost or won the competition. These game-day chance cards have only one response for the player to select, and the outcome is always the same.
Like usual, the outcome of chance cards can have an effect on a Sim's emotions and afterschool activity performance. Chance cards can also affect a Sim's relationship with their teammates, rivals, or crush. If The Sims 4: Parenthood is installed, character values will sometimes be affected.

| Just like that, a fight breaks out in the middle of practice between two teammates. Hard to say if it was instigated from the heat of the sport or something to do with social media drama. Regardless of the logic or reason, the fight is starting to get good and folks quickly gathering around them. | |

| Stretching is really key to being at top performance for team activities. Being sure to keep a balance of mental and physical health is very important! However, <Sim name> may have forgotten to do some much needed self-care time and stretch it out before going into practice today. Even though being a top achiever feels great and often portrayed as high reward, taking care of <himself/herself> should come first. <Sim name> will remember to take a stretch break next time. | |
| Will be mindful next time! | |

| While meeting with the team to discuss competition strategy, <Sim name>'s crush suddenly joins the meeting! <Sim name> is stunned this could even happen, but apparently the captain let them stop by since they were interested in what the team was up to. <Sim name> could really take this chance to look cool. Should <he/she> speak up and recommend a strategy in front of the whole team? | |

| Competition Day - Loss |
| <Sim name> could feel <his/her> heartbeat pulsing as <he/she> watched the team before Copperdale on stage. The squad had been practicing for this moment but <Sim name> may have missed a few practice sessions. Still, the star move was easy enough to do alone... Clapping from the audience was their signal to enter the stage for the routine. The light went dark for a dramatic effect and the spotlight illuminated <Sim name> as <he/she> stood in the front and center of the cheer group. Startled by the timing of the light, <Sim name> threw the pom poms up in the air, smacking one of the cheer members in the face. Ouch, what were they doing there? The music started and <Sim name> made the big move - a backflip that was supposed to be a twirl in the air and then getting caught by the squad... but maybe it was too early because nobody caught <him/her>. <Sim name> fell down hard but the embarrassment was even worse. |
| Ouch! |
| Outcome:
|
| Competition Day - Win |
| <Sim name> could feel <his/her> heartbeat racing as <he/she> watches the other school routine before Copperdale cheer team is up on stage for the competition. The squad has been practicing hard for this and now is the moment to shine in front of the judges. Clapping from the audience was their signal to enter the stage for the routine. The lights went dark for a dramatic effect and the spotlight illuminated <Sim name> as <he/she> stood in the front and center of the cheer group. The music of their routine started and <Sim name> threw <his/her> pom poms up in the air before doing a back flip into the arms of the squad. The catch was just right and the team pulled off a exuberant routine that ended in a standing ovation. It was just obvious that Copperdale won first place! |
| Way to go! |
