GYFCP Cheerleading

The Greenfield Youth Cheerleading Program is a co-ed, cheerleading program, for all children in 1st through 8th grades. Athletes are grouped by age/grade level.

Starting end-July/early-August, we will practice 3 days per week. Practices run through mid-October.

• 2 days per week we will practice at Greenfield Middle School. Practice times at Greenfield Middle School are set by the Head Coach and will typically be between 5pm and 8pm. 
• 1 day per week we will practice indoors at Elite Tumbling in Oak Creek.
• We will cheer at all home and away football games.

The athlete or parent /guardian is responsible to contact the Head Coach prior to the start of practice or the absence will be considered unexcused, regardless of cause. Texts, emails and /or phone calls after the start of practice will be considered unexcused. Anticipated, potentially excused, absences need to be communicated to the Head Coach a minimum of 48 hours prior to the date of anticipated absence.

What is included in the base package for Cheerleading?

• Rental of an official cheerleading uniform (needs to be turned in at the end of the season)
• Hair bow (female athletes) 
• Other misc fees such as facilities rentals, insurance, etc

Each family will submit an "equipment fee check" which we hold onto all season until you return the borrowed uniform to us at the end of the season. This check is not cashed unless you do not return your uniform.

What do families need to provide?

• White socks
• White cheer shoes (no KEDS)
• Black leggings (female athletes) 
• Cheer liner (long sleeve shirt for under uniform) *optional
• Elite tumbling membership for 3 months

Optional "a la carte" items

• Poms: Every athlete needs a set of poms. If you have your poms from last year, no need to add this cost to your registration. You keep at the end of the season.
• Cheer jacket: Every athlete needs a matching cheer jacket. We can personalize the jacket with your name! If you have your jacket from last year, no need to add this cost to your registration. You keep the jacket at the end of the season.
• Cheer backpacks: Personalized cheer backpacks are optional.

Let's say you are new to cheerleading and just starting with us!

• $75 base price (early bird pricing, price increases in June, payment plans available)
• $25 poms *required
• $55 cheer jacket with embroidery *required
• $60 cheer backpack with embroidery *optional
• $150 Elite tumbling membership *required, paid to Elite

If you are a returning athlete and have your poms, jacket and backpack, no need to order new items! You would just need the base price and to ensure you still have a membership to Elite for the time we will be cheerleading (end-July to end-October).

We operate as a 100% volunteer program. For our season to be successful, we rely on parent participation.

Volunteer opportunities: 

• Concession Stand
• Photographers
• Team Parent: Help coaches organize snack schedules and manage other team-related communications.
• Assistant Coaches: Additional coaches are always welcomed. 
• Board Member: attend monthly meetings; support throughout the season. Board members get one free registration, up to $225.

Each family will submit a "volunteer check" that we hold onto all season until your volunteering commitments have been fulfilled. This check is not cashed unless you do not volunteer.

• There is a mandatory fundraiser. 
• In 2026, we've reduced the overall cost to play football and will be focusing on increasing our fundraising efforts.
