Plainsmen Jr. Cheerleading Registration: The fall session is designed for 3rd through 8th grade girls. All girls who sign up will be placed on a team. There are no try outs, and all are encouraged and welcomed! The program’s focus will be to make the cheerleading experience a fun, character and confidence building experience accentuating teamwork and respect of self and peers. The program will run from August to October and will coincide with the Plainsmen Jr. Football League program.
The Plainsmen Jr. Cheerleading League is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2004with the intent to give young girls in our community the opportunity to be part of the cheerleading experience without the competitive nature.
As the program has grown, it has also included a 7th and 8th grade Modified Squad that cheers for the Shen Modified football program that the girls do have to try out for. The game schedule follows Shen’s. The fee is $200.00per cheerleader which covers our season of AugustOctober.
