''The Secret Lives of Cheerleaders'' a 2019 LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek TeenDrama {{Thriller}}, written by Anna White and directed by Peter Sullivan. It was part of the network's ''Cheer! Rally! Kill!'' event, with five original cheerleader-themed thrillers (including another Peter Sullivan movie, ''Film/TheWrongCheerleader'').
Ava (Savannah May) has moved to California with her mother Candice (Creator/DeniseRichards). Learning that Roosevelt High doesn't have a dance squad, Ava decides to try out for the award-winning Lioness cheer squad. It turns out she's a natural for cheer, but the squad is dominated by [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]], borderline psychopathic AlphaBitch Katrina (Allie [=DeBerry=]), who views Ava as her first serious competition. Ava soon learns that Katrina subjects the squad to cruel [[InitiationCeremony hazing stunts]], and Ava's chemistry lab partner Allyson (Lauryn Speights), a former Lioness herself, spills the beans on Katrina's cruelty. But Katrina isn't finished with Ava yet.
!!''The Secret Lives of Cheerleaders'' contains examples of:
* TheAlcoholic:
** It turns out that Katrina framed Allyson for this in a hazing incident where she made Allyson drink vodka and strip on the football field, only to have security show up.
** But Katrina's a hypocrite when it comes to this, since we learn that her BFF Shay is the one who has trouble with alcohol.
* AlphaBitch: Katrina takes the Alpha and the Bitch portions of the trope UpToEleven, utterly holding the school under her thumb and subjecting the new cheerleaders to horrific hazing.
* BathroomStallOfOverheardInsults: At a crucial moment, Ava sees Shay and another cheerleader enter the girl's room, so she hides in a stall and overhears Shay admit to setting her up on Katrina's orders.
* BetaBitch: Shay is one for Katrina, ready to do her bidding at a moment's notice.
* BigDamnHeroes: At the climax, [[spoiler:Ava arrives to expose Katrina's latest hazing stunt, and Patrick livestreams it for the whole school]].
* BlackCloak: In the flashback at the beginning, Allyson's tormenters wear black hoodies and animal masks. They're later revealed to be Katrina and her bitch squad.
* BlandNameProduct: Surprisingly averted, with Website/{{Twitter}} mentioned by name and shown on screen, but later played straight with My Media Link, some kind of Website/{{Facebook}}--Instagram stand-in.
* ClearMyName: After Katrina plants Oxycodone in Ava's locker and Ava gets suspended, she hatches a plan to expose Katrina.
* DanceOff: Ava and Katrina get into an informal one during cheer practice, and everyone seems to think Ava won.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Ava's dad [[DisappearedDad died suddenly]] the previous year, and Ava started to adopt TroubledTeen behavior, even getting sent to a therapy camp (which she hated).
* DevilInPlainSight: Katrina is so ObviouslyEvil, but no one at the school is willing to call her out on it.
* EatingLunchAlone: Allyson, who's an outcast at the school after getting kicked off the cheer squad, does this until Ava befriends her.
* EvilIsHammy: Allie [=DeBerry=] plays Katrina as a sadisitic DramaQueen who chews the scenery at every opportunity.
* ExtremeDoormat: Mr. Bailey the chemistry teacher gets pushed around by Katrina and the other cheerleaders and gives them preferential treatment.
* {{Fanservice}}: The Lionesses get lots of scenes to shake around in their uniforms, with a few [[PantyShot Panty Shots]] along the way.
* FullyClothedNudity: In the two scenes where Katrina orders the new cheerleaders to take their clothes off, they never get past a bra and panties, since this is basic cable. It's especially odd in Allyson's scene on the football field, since she was arrested for indecent exposure on top of public drunkenness, which would imply that she really ''was'' naked when the cops showed up.
* HiddenDepths: Patrick knows how to write code and set up web platforms, but plays football to please his dad.
* InitiationCeremony: The new Lionesses have to undergo a series of hazing stunts set up by Katrina, which involve very illegal things like burglarizing buildings and underage drinking, and they get kicked off the team if they don't comply.
* MakeWayForThePrincess: A slow motion PowerWalk introduces us to Katrina and the other cheerleaders.
* MeetCute: Ava meets her eventual boyfriend Patrick whe he nearly runs her over in the parking lot.
* MyBelovedSmother: While it's justified given Ava's past behavioral issues, Candice still keeps a tight grip on Ava, right down to setting up a curfew for her.
* {{Narcissist}}: Katrina literally has a breakdown if people pay more attention to another cheerleader (which eventually happens with Ava).
* NewTransferStudent: Ava has just moved to the school from Massachusetts and is trying to fit in.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Used almost word-for-word by Patrick when Katrina talks a drunken Shay into kissing him in full view of Ava.
* ThePrecariousLedge: At the climax [[spoiler:Katrina makes Haley walk along the edge of the roof of a tall building, then Ava shows up and volunteers to do it instead, then, after it appears she's out of danger, she slips and it turns into a LiteralCliffhanger]].
* PrecisionFStrike: Ava quietly but clearly mouths "shit!" when she learns that she inadvertently broke her mom's curfew on homecoming night.
* ShrinkingViolet: Allyson, because of her past emotional abuse at the hands of the Lionesses, behaves like this.
* TeensAreMonsters: Katrina is self-centered to the max and gleefully tortures her fellow cheerleaders.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Katrina has a couple examples of this.
-->We'll see who's cheerleader of the year, bitch!
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Allyson was a cheerleader, but she pushed back against Katrina's hazing cruelties, so she was kicked off the squad and became an {{Unperson}} in the school.
* WeightWoe: Julie, another new cheerleader, lost a lot of weight over the summer, but it still a bit heftier than than the other cheerleaders, and is subtly implied to be on the way to developing an eating disorder.
