At Keene Knights, we offer tackle football, flag football, but we also offer sideline and competition 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.  Over the last few years we have put so much love into our cheer division, growing our participation numbers, growing our teams, and returning to the world of COMPETITION!!  

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!!

Registration Fee:
$150.00 per participant

Once you are registered with the Keene Knights and have paid for your registration.  Please register with the NHYFSC under Keene Knights using this LINK!  This registration is MANDATORY.  There is no fee associated with this registration.  When you complete this registration it generates the paperwork that we need to be sure all participants are in compliance with AYC.  

So, to be clear, you are completing TWO registrations for cheer.

**There will be fundraising to help offset the fee - Krispy Kreme Fundraising will begin in April!  Each participant will be able to earn credit that will help offset their registration fee.
