Our goal at MYFA is to create a fun safe environment for your children to learn proper cheerleading technique and skills. We want our cheerleaders to enjoy cheering at the MYFA football games while they have an impact on the game. The cheer squads will help keep the fans cheering for our teams during live play, timeouts, end of quarters and halftime. They will be taught basic and advanced skills that will later prepare them for junior high and high school cheer. MYFA cheerleaders will also learn about the game of football so they properly understand when their team is on offense or defense and when a touchdown is scored so they can cheer at the appropriate time. There is no tryout necessary and every child will be placed on an age appropriate cheer squad.
Cost - $250
