please take a moment to read prior to your child signing up
Cheerleading requires many various abilities. It takes concentration, energy, enthusiam and TEAMWORK to learn cheers, dance, tumbling and stunts, all of which make up a routine. In the short time we have together this requires a great deal of TEAMWORK, effort, and dedication. Please ask yourself if your childs involvement with cheerleading will conflict with any other fall activity. Practices, Games, Events, Exhibitions and Competitions are mandatory. Teamwork is a very important part of cheerleading. Practices begin the first full week in August, three times per week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30-6:00pm, and in September and October practices are two times per week on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30-6:00pm. Attendance is a huge aspect to this sport and is also crucial to the team's improvement. Cheerleaders are expected and required to attend practice in order for the whole team to strive, but more importantly practice. When one cheerleader is missing the whole team is affected and results in an inability to practice routines, stunts, etc. Please consider this when planning vacations and fall activities, it is important to notify the coach as soon as possible if you must be absent so we can adjust practices and act in ways that benefits each cheerleader involved.
There are 3 squads :
PEE-WEE squad for grades 3rd and 4th
JUNIORS squad for grades 5th and 6th
SENIOR squad for grades 7th and 8th
AGAWAM YOUTH FOOTBALL is affiliated with Suburban Football, therefore at times travel is necessary for games, transportation is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. The football season runs from September until the end of October. The games are scheduled for Sunday afternoons with a Saturday night game usually on the schedule to allow the kids to play under the big lights. All of our practice are at Kirk Parker Field on School street in Agawam behind Phelps School.

The following is a summary of approximate costs involved with cheerleading. The registration fee is $275.00 due at sign-ups. This fee covers the cost of uniform (sneakers, bodysuits, socks, bow), as well as admission to competitions / exhibition and their banquet ticket. The only other additional expense will be Fleece Jacket $65.00 and Cheer Bag $25.00 payments due first week of practice in August.
