NFL Cheer 

NFL Cheer is comprised of girls ages 5-14 and will cheer for NFL Flag Football of Rockford.  There are no tryouts, all cheerleaders cheer; therefore, squads may be of differing abilities. All cheerleaders are coached by a volunteer and a high school cheerleader mentor. The purpose of NFL Cheer is to develop, organize, and promote cheerleading activities for our youth participants. NFL Cheer will also encourage good sportsmanship and fun for all our participants. 

 Program Description:Each NFL Cheer squad is assigned a parent supervisor and a high school cheerleading/dance mentor. The mentors primarily job is to teach the cheer routines. Some of the girls in each group may have more trouble than others picking up the routine. Each mentor would be assigned to teach a group of 6-8 girls’ routines to be preformed during NFL Flag Football games on Saturday mornings.  Some mentors may be assigned two squads.
