Volunteers & Coaching
Each cheer squad will need a coach and team parent! This is a great opportunity to help and get to know the other parents and girls.
If you have specific team or coach requests (such as a specific person she would like to be paired with for transportation issues or a football team to follow for family reasons) we will do our best to honor one request per child.
- Coaching Applications are due by July 10, 2024 before 11:00 P.M.
- Please see Coaches page to register for a head-coaching position
Please contact Lacey Bull with any questions, concerns, or if you are interested in coaching at [email protected]
Have a great season!
