There are several sign-up dates for the OYF 2008 cheer season. Click here for sign up dates. Saturday, July 12th is late registration. Due to the high cost of late uniform orders, we will not be able to sign up participants after July 12th. Get there early!!

We are excited about our 2008 cheer season and we are expecting a great turnout of participants this year.

OYF depends on volunteers to create a successful program for our youth. For, without volunteers we would not have a program at all. We are in need of volunteers for our Cheer program. If you think you might be able to help, take a look at our cheer position descriptions to see if you can make a difference. Or sign up today!


Optimist Youth Cheer Guidelines:

Registration fee for the 2008 season is $70.00. The fee at late registration, July 12th, 2008 is $80.00. The Cheer Coach will collect and turn in all uniforms to the Coordinators at the end of the season.

*participants must be between the ages of 4 - 12 years
the participant must be 4 on or before September 1, 2008.

*Optimist Cheer provides: a camp t-shirt, cheer shell, cheer skirt and pom poms.
The Uniform items must be returned to OYF Cheer at the end of the 2008 season. The pom poms are yours to keep.

*Participant provides: cheer briefs (to go under the cheer skirt), athletic shoes and socks. Specific colors, brands or styles are not required.

*Other Items: Cheer uniforms or warm ups, purchased through the Optimist Cheer program, are the only apparel worn during games. Cheerleaders are welcome to purchase team apparel, i.e. sweatshirts, hats, etc. The team apparel may be worn at practices, but not during games. Cheerleaders may purchase Optimist Cheer warm ups to help stay warm or they may layer their clothing under the cheer uniform. This includes a turtleneck, under armor, tights, gloves, and hat. The restriction on uniforms promotes unity between the cheerleaders. They all look the same, making each cheerleader as special as the cheerleader next to her.

Cheer Camp will be held in the summer. Dates are to be advised.


Squad placement guidelines:

* The first priority is to place siblings, and/or friends on the same team (cheer & football). There is a section on the registration form, you must indicate this request.

* The second priority in squad placement is determined by your school district, closest elementary or middle school.

* The third priority is determined by the area in which you live.

Our volunteers strive to place your child(ren) on the squad of your request.

However, due to age, weight restrictions and weigh in requirements at Jamboree, we can not guarantee team placements.

Email Contact Information for Cheer League Coordinators:

Cheer Leagues correspond to the Football League structure. A Squad that cheers for a Freshman League (9-year old) football team is in the Freshman Cheer League, a squad that cheers for a Sophomore League (10-year old) football team is in the Sophomore Cheer League, and so on. Currently, Flag League teams do not have Cheer squads. Please try to address your questions and comments to the appropriate Cheer League Coordinator at the email address listed below:
