Jay Stenzel said the family likes spending time with each other despite the varying schedules.
"I don't think it's a matter of juggling," he said. "We see it more as an opportunity to get out and watch our kids doing something - especially something they're good at."
Christine Stenzel has been cheering since she was 4 years old and is the oldest of the three siblings, followed by Robbie and Bopper.
While Robbie and Bopper are devoted to the roundball, Christine Stenzel admitted that she takes up after her mother.
"I'm not coordinated enough (to play basketball)," she said with a smile. "They've got all of the basketball traits. I don't have any basketball genes at all. I got the cheerleading traits."
Despite the differences in physical skills, the two brothers and sister are close to each other.
"Robbie and I are very close," Christine said. "We have a lot in common. Robbie is laid back, and I'm the complete opposite. I'm more outgoing and Bopper is somewhere in between. Robbie probably wouldn't admit it, but he looks up to me. We learn a lot from each other."
Robbie Stenzel likes the fact that he has an older sister in his corner with a pair of red pom poms, cheering him on.
"Whenever I've got a problem, I can go to her and she'll fix it," he said. "She has a way of working it out. It's a big boost having her on the sidelines cheering for me."
Bopper Stenzel is an up-and-coming point guard and will get a chance to play alongside his older brother for the next two seasons. As for the athletic skills, Bopper gives the nod to his brother.
"We always talk about things and we always joke about playing and when he dunks it," Bopper said with a laugh. "I can jump to the rim, but I can put the ball through it."
Despite a slight age difference, Bopper Stenzel said he's close to his brother.
"We're good friends. I look up to him," he said.
Although Christine's high school career is nearing an end, she wouldn't mind staying one more season.
"I would love to stay for another year and cheer for my little brother," she said.
