Lusher
Charter School is establishing its first contact football team in
school history. After spring practice and spring and summer conditioning,
the Lions have taken to the field of competition this Fall with great
fanfare. With the athletic skills, speed, and commitment of Lusher
athletes, our new football program will be an exciting one to watch
develop.

Flag
Football
A
perennial powerhouse in the Metro Middle School Athletic Association,
Lusher’s flag football team has hoisted several city champion
trophies in the past few years. The team is known for its speed and
innovative play-calling, keeping the competition consistently on its
toes. This fall, the 8th Grade Flag Football won the Metro Middle
School Championship in double overtime, while the 7th Grade and the
6th Grade teams both advanced to the 2nd Round of the Playoffs.

Swimming
 Even
in its first year, Lusher Charter School’s swim team boasts some
of the top swimmers in the New Orleans area at both the middle and high
school level. Practicing in the early morning at Tulane University’s
Reilly Center, the team represented the school at swim meets throughout
the metro area, with swimmers qualifying for the Metro Swim Meet in
nearly every event.
Volleyball
Volleyball
has always been one of Lusher’s strongest sports at the middle
school level, with several Lusher players going on to earn All-City,
Region, and State honors in high school. With the expansion of the
volleyball program into the high school, Lusher looks to build off
of the middle school success and pull from the formidable pool of
talent to compete. Fall 2006 saw the beginnings of Lusher High School
competition, and the future looks very bright. The Lady Lions won
the 8th Grade Metro Middle School Championship while the 6th Grade
Lady Lions finished in 3rd place in the 2006 season.

Cheerleading
A
recently restored sport at Lusher Charter School, the cheerleading
squad, under the direction of a current NCAA cheerleader, has already
been leading pep rallies and cheering on sports teams. The squad looks
forward to more opportunities to spread Lusher Lions spirit.
