Welcome to Quincy Youth Football and Cheer! We are excited you are showing interest in our cheer program and hope you find this basic information helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
- Season runs August - November (assuming the weather cooperates)
- Cheerleaders are required to attend all practices and games.
- Practices are typically Tues & Thurs 5:30-7:30pm at Pageant Field and adjust as we approach darker evenings.
- We typically compete in 2 Cheer Competitions each season (end of October and early November). As competition season approaches, we will add additional mandatory practices.
- Cheerleading is a team sport. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to stunt or complete a routine when a cheerleader is missing.
- Cheerleaders should arrive to practice on time wearing clothing that is comfortable and weather appropriate. They also must wear Sneakers and bring their own labelled water bottle – Optional: bug spray.
- Adults do not have to stay at the field for practice but must arrive promptly to pick up your cheerleader.
Game Day:
- Every cheerleader is expected to arrive at the field in a clean uniform 1 hour PRIOR to game time. This time will be used for practice and warm up well.
- We cheer at Home and Away games.
- A message will go out via the app by Friday reminding the cheerleaders of anything they need to know. (how to wear their hair, etc.).
- Games are typically on Sunday and last approx.. 1.5hrs.
Uniforms:
- We provide bottoms, tops/shells, sleeves and a warmup jacket (all to be returned at the end of the season).
- You will be given a list of specific items that must be purchased. (for example Sneakers, socks, Lollipops/briefs for girls and Bows).
- We do plan to hold a free Cheer Clinic this summer if your cheerleader is still unsure if she/he wants to join us. Keep an eye on Facebook for details!
If you would like to be volunteer, please register through the Volunteer tab on our website. We can always use some extra support!
If you have additional questions, please reach out to us at info@qyfca.com.
Thank you – and we hope to see your Cheerleader in the Fall!
