2026 Fall Cheer Registration Update – Coaches Needed prior to registration opening.

Our cheer program continues to grow each season, and we are so excited about the interest for Fall Cheer! In order to provide the best possible experience for our athletes, we must have enough dedicated coaches and volunteers in place before opening registration.

At this time, we are actively looking for coaches who can commit to:

• Running weekly practices

• Attending games and events

• Creating a positive and supportive environment for our athletes

• Helping build teamwork, confidence, and sportsmanship

Because cheer is a team sport that requires supervision, planning, and consistency, we cannot open registration until we know we have enough coaches available to support the number of athletes interested in participating.

If you are interested in coaching or learning more about what is involved, please reach out. No prior coaching experience is required, just a willingness to support and encourage our athletes!

This program is built by the community, for the community, and we appreciate everyone willing to step up and help keep cheer thriving for our girls.
