OVERVIEW
The AJAA Cheerleading program is designed for children going into grades K-6 for recreational cheer. 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, along with giving the athletes a fun season.
