AYFCA offers sideline cheer for participants in PreK (4 yrs by 9/1) to 12U. Register in the age offering your cheer participant will align to based on their age as of 9/1/2026 - sibling alignment requests that are entered during registration will be done separately by the volunteer Cheer Director. You do not register the cheerleader in the sibling's age division - your cheerleader will only have the offering open based on her age/DOB. You will enter the sibling's division in the appropriate sibling field and the volunteer cheer director will be verifying those and realigning siblings internally prior to drafts. You will also need to have an image of your cheerleaders Birth Certificate and a current water or electric bill to upload during registration. The utility bill must include the home address, billing date and parents name in the image.
Flag Cheer is 5U, 6U, and 7U (must be 4-7 years old by 9/1/26). 4 year olds can only cheer with a sibling within flag - others in flag can cheer up to two divisions with siblings (5U to 7U and 6U to 8U). Tackle Cheer is 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U or 12U - 7U thru 12U only can cheer up for/with siblings in any offering. No cheerleader can be older than 6th Grade & must be under 13 by 9/1/26. Cheer teams will be drafted and we do not take coach, rideshare or friend requests. We encourage you to register to coach as we are always needing more parents than we have initially volunteer. You can add on volunteer registration when registering your cheerleader by simply adding another transaction and choosing your own profile for the enrollment. Cheerleaders are encouraged to attend every practice. Typically, there are 2 practices per week. Practice attendance may determine participation in specific Game Day performances. Skill related performances will be at the discretion of the coach i.e., stunts, tumbling, and complex material/routines.
Cheer registration is $110 for 2026. The 2025 Style Cheer Uniform is required. We will have poms available as loaners with a check deposit, as well as new and used poms available for purchase. Megaphones are the same as prior years and can be purchased separately.
