Schedule
FOOTBALL SIDELINE CHEER: Practice 3 nights a week (beginning July 21) until school starts – then 1 night a week through October. We will cheer at play-offs and championship games the first few weeks of November if played.
Game schedules are determined by the Bill George Youth Football League (BGYFL) and may take a few weeks into the season to finalize.
PAFA Spirit schedules cannot be created until the official football schedule has been finalized by the league and by the PAFA football board.
Please note: We make every effort to publish our schedule within 48 hours of receiving the football schedule.
We ask for your patience and understanding as the schedule for the first two weeks of the season may not come out until a few days before game day.
As in any sport, in order to cheer at all games and competitions, attendance and commitment to the team is required! We also strongly encourage all participants to enroll in tumbling classes HERE
