Dexter Community Education

The Dexter Youth Cheerleading Association is excited to offer the sport of sideline cheer this Fall in partnership with the Dexter Youth Football League and the Dexter Varsity Cheer program.

Cheerleaders will be placed on their corresponding grade level team: 3/4th grade or 5/6th grade (subject to change based on enrollment numbers). There are no tryouts and no experience is necessary!

Practices will be held in the evenings starting the week of August 11, with in-season practices beginning the week of August 25. Practices are currently set for 5:30-7 PM, Mondays and Wednesdays.

Cheerleaders are expected to attend all in-season practices in order to be included in stunts as well as the final performance material. Please carefully consider this rule before registering.

Football games will be held Saturday mornings (depending on the league’s final schedules) and games run mid-September through the end of October. The football season is six games long and the cheer teams will participate in additional fun events through the Fall.

The program will focus on the fundamentals of sideline cheer, including proper form, motions, tumbling, jumps, and basic stunts, and our teams will learn material that is performed at all levels of the Dexter Cheer program.

We will also focus on the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and unity while building self-confidence and providing the skills our athletes will need to successfully move up through our cheer programs!

The registration fee of $200 covers the cost of all required uniform items with the exception of shoes and rain jacket.

Additional information will be sent out when registration closes on June 15. Space is limited, so be sure to register early!
