OVERVIEW:
AYS Rec. Cheer is a program designed for Avon children going into grades Kindergarten - 6th in the Fall. Our program goals are to teach the future cheerleaders of Avon basics, such as chants, motions, jumps, and age-appropriate stunting. We also hope to instill a feeling of accomplishment, team spirit, and good sportsmanship. Our Kindergarten - 6th grade Fall cheerleaders will cheer for AYS Rec. Football teams throughout their Fall season. The season will consist of an optional two-day summer camp in late June, weekly practices beginning in July, and cheering at assigned games every week beginning in August (times will vary) through early October. There may be additional opportunities for performances during the season, including a Colts game day experience, during an Avon High School Football game, or college football game.
AGE DIVISIONS:
This program is offered to children in KG - 6th grade (based on the 2025-2026 school year). Cheerleaders are guaranteed a spot and will be assigned teams based on their grade level and will be divided into divisions (KG-3rd and 4th-6th grade).
AYS also offers a try-out based Cheer program called Junior Orioles Cheer. This program is offered to 4th - 8th graders and involves travel and a greater financial commitment. If your athlete is interested in trying out for Junior Orioles Cheer, please refer to the Junior Orioles Cheer webpage.
PRACTICES AND GAMES:
Practices will be indoors and will be held once a week on Mondays or Thursdays, depending on the age division. They will start the week of July 7th. Games will start in August and are generally on Saturdays, however, there can be an occasional weeknight game.
