AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Six residents of Valley Senior Living in Grand Forks, North Dakota, have become enthusiastic cheerleaders for the Grand Forks Spitfires softball team during its inaugural season. Known as “The Sparks,” the group has been outfitted with team gear and learned a cheer routine to support the players at games held at UND's Albrecht Field.

The six Valley Senior Living residents took on the role of cheering for the Grand Forks Spitfires this summer, attending games at UND’s Albrecht Field. The team provided “The Sparks” with Spitfire caps, shirts, and pom-poms to fully equip their cheerleading squad.

Earlier in the summer, the group learned a cheer routine alongside the softball players. The source does not state *why* they took on this role, but notes that the residents are "loving every minute of it." Their presence has delighted both fans and players throughout the Spitfires’ inaugural season.
