YMCA Roseburg Junior Cheer is a YMCA Youth Sports program serving athletes in 2nd through 8th grade throughout Douglas County. As the official feeder program for Roseburg High School Cheer and Stunt, the team provides a year-round experience that includes sideline cheer for local football games in the fall and statewide competitions during the winter season. The YMCA Roseburg Junior Cheer Team is dedicated to building confident, disciplined, and supportive athletes who grow in both skill and character. Through teamwork, perseverance, and a focus on the YMCA’s core values—caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility—we strive to create a positive and uplifting environment. Our mission is to inspire young cheerleaders to support one another, lead with integrity, and shine both on and off the mat while developing strong friendships, leadership skills, and a lifelong love for teamwork and sport.

Our 2026-2027 tryout season has concluded. For questions, please contact the coaches at rjc@ymcaofdouglascounty.org

Administrative Coach

Brittany Arnold

Brittany is a Portland-area native who now proudly calls Roseburg home. She discovered her love for dance and cheer at a young age, cheering in middle school and later dancing through high school and college. During that time, she had the opportunity to perform at events such as the NFL Pro Bowl and NBA Portland Trail Blazers games, and in college she founded the University of Oregon Jam Squad, now known as the UO Hip Hop Team.

Today, Brittany is passionate about helping young athletes grow in confidence, teamwork, and leadership through YMCA Roseburg Junior Cheer. She also serves as the Marketing and Development Director at the YMCA of Douglas County. Outside of work and cheer, Brittany enjoys spending time with her family, being active in church, and making the most of life in Southern Oregon—especially days at the lake.

Junior Team Coach

Savanna Kipperman

Savanna’s cheer journey began as an athlete at Fremont and RHS, where she built a strong foundation in stunting, tumbling, and the thrill of competition season. In her senior year, she joined Allstars, pushing her passion and skills even further. After some time away, watching her daughter Harper step into the cheer world reignited her love for the sport and inspired her to get involved once again—this time as a coach. Now married and raising two children in beautiful Douglas County, Savanna is soaking up every moment of small-town life and loving the summertime vibes. She brings energy, experience, and heart to every practice, and she’s so excited to help the next generation of athletes shine.

Youth Team Coach

Olivia McCurdy

Olivia was born and raised in Roseburg, Oregon, where she grew up actively involved in her community. As a student, she participated in FFA and showed livestock, experiences that helped her develop responsibility, dedication, and a strong work ethic from a young age. Olivia also discovered an early passion for dance and spent more than 10 years competing, building a strong foundation in performance, discipline, and teamwork. Her love for athletics and team spirit naturally led her to cheerleading, where she continued cheering at Southern Oregon University while earning her degree in Business Administration. As a coach, Olivia is passionate about helping young athletes grow both on and off the mat. She loves building confidence in her athletes and creating an environment where they feel supported, encouraged, and proud of their progress. Olivia believes strongly in teaching teamwork, leadership, and positivity, and she values the relationships she builds with her athletes as they grow together throughout the season. In her free time, Olivia enjoys spending time with family and friends, attending concerts, hunting and fishing, and being outdoors. She is excited to be part of the YMCA Roseburg Junior Cheer program and looks forward to helping athletes learn, grow, and shine this season.

Thank you to our sponsors and community partners for making this program possible and for helping empower and strengthen the youth in our community!
