GRFL Cheerleading

Thank you for your interest in GRFL Cheerleading!

Age:

Girls must be entering kindergarten (age 5) up to 6^th grade as of August 1^st, 2010. We do consider GRFL Cheerleading as a sport. Please make sure your daughter is able to physically participate.

Squads:

Currently, there are 14 squads. Girls returning from prior year will be placed on the same squad. New cheerleaders to GRFL that have a brother playing on a particular team will be placed on that team’s squad. New cheerleaders without a sibling will be placed on a list for placement on a squad with a lower number of cheerleaders. A cheerleader may request a particular squad, but there is no guarantee she will be placed on that particular squad if she is new.

Practices and Games:

Coaches for each squad will establish a schedule for practice. On average there are 2-3 practices per week to prepare for the season and practices are held where their team practices (one of the middle school practice fields). Practices for cheerleading usually drop down to one a week and by mid-season practices are ended.

In addition, we are asking that the cheerleaders participate in the Penn High School Cheer Camp. This is a great experience to meet other GRFL Cheerleaders and get a jump on the season. Cost is $40.00. Sign ups will be held at Penn High School May 1^st and May 8^th 8 – 11 am.

Games will be played on Saturday mornings at one of the Penn Harris Madison Middle Schools from August – October, or longer based on the advancement of their team. Cheerleaders will be expected to cheer in all weather conditions throughout the season.

We have several squads who still need Coaches! Please feel free to contact Jaime Murphy (Cheer Coordinator) if you have additional questions or would like to volunteer! Go to the community page and fill out the contact form.
