OVERVIEW:
The AJAA Cheerleading program is designed for children going into grades Kindergarten - 6th and is a Rec. program. Cheerleaders cheer for our Rec. Fall Football players. Our programs goals are to teach the future cheerleaders of Avon basics such as motions, jumps, and some stunting, depending on their grade. We also hope to instill a feeling of accomplishment, team spirit, and good sportsmanship.
AGE DIVISIONS:
This program is offered to children in Kindergarten through 6th grade. Cheerleaders will be assigned teams based on their current grade for the 2023-24 school year, and will be divided into KG-2nd, 3rd & 4th, 5th & 6th divisions.
Please note: There may be some differences based on volunteers, siblings playing football or siblings cheering together. AJAA strives to put ages together, however, sometimes there can be a small deviation from the age divisions when necessary. This is approved on a case-by-case basis.
