Squad Placement for Siblings
Can my children be on the same squad?
Yes, every effort is made to keep siblings together. Be sure to indicate this information at time of registration.
Can my daughter cheer for her brother’s team?
Every effort is made to accommodate everyone so sisters can cheer on the same team as their sibling. This is handled on a case by case situation with no guarantees. She may cheer up a maximum of two age levels contingent on approval by the cheer director and both coaches. This includes the age appropriate level coach and the higher age level coach for the squad you desire to cheer with. Cheerleaders may only tumble/stunt at her age level, not at the age level she is cheering with on game day and practices. This rule also applies to sisters wanting to cheer with sisters. Cheerleaders may not be eligible for a competition squad when cheering in a higher age bracket. She cannot cheer down.
Practices:
Cheer practice is every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-7:30pm.
Homecoming:
This is our big event! We have a dinner/party Sunday after Homecoming Game Day. We need a lot of help to make it a success.
Cheer Competition:
The TNYFL has a cheer competition at the end of the season that each organization competes in.
The Franklin Cowboys will select the best cheerleaders to form a team to represent
our communicate in this end of year cheer competition.
Coaches:
We always need coaches and training will be provided this year through TNYFL. Please fill out an application as soon as possible as there will be valuable training such as first aid, etc. early in the season. If you would like to spend some time with your daughter and have lots of fun, contact Cheer Director.
