At Keene Knights, we offer tackle football, flag football, but we also offer sideline cheerleading!
Our cheerleading program is designed to be an introductory program to expose athletes to the sport, at a low cost and with a low commitment. In 2023, we focused on sideline cheerleading only. For 2024, we are super excited to grow our squads and add a competition to the season!!
What will my athlete gain with this program?
All cheerleading athletes will learn the fundamentals of cheer:
- Motions, Jumps, Sideline Cheers, Quarter and Half Time Cheers, Dance, Level Appropriate Stunting, Level Appropriate Tumbling, Competition
In addition to the fundamentals, our program will encourage your athlete to grow in strength, flexibility, as well as their confidence, friendships, teamwork, respect, and FUN!!
