CHEERLEADING

Falcons Cheerleading

Our cheerleaders are the heartbeat of the Lombard Falcons, bringing energy and spirit to every game! To keep this tradition thriving, we need the support of all parents across both football and cheer.

The Falcons Cheerleading Program builds foundational skills in stunting, tumbling, dance, and routines—preparing athletes for junior high and high school cheer. We proudly cheer on our football teams while fostering teamwork and confidence in our athletes.

Who Can Join?
Kids ages 4 (Mini Cheer) through Varsity (8th grade). No matter your experience, we have a squad that’s right for you!

  • Mini Cheer: Open to PreK through 1st grade. Learn cheerleading basics—motions, jumps, chants—and cheer at weekend football games. It’s all about building confidence, making friends, and having fun, with no competitions involved!
  • Sideline Cheer: Open to 2nd through 8th graders, these teams bring energy to the football field by cheering at games during the regular season and playoffs. They lead cheers, chants, and fight song routines, using props and dance to excite the crowd. While tumbling and stunting aren’t the focus, the emphasis is on team spirit and rallying the fans.
  • Competitive Cheer: Open to 1st through 8th grade. Cheer at football games during the regular season and playoffs, with practices 2-3 times a week and extra sessions during competition weeks. Each team competes in at least two competitions, with attendance at all practices mandatory. Tumbling isn’t required but is highly recommended to boost skills and spirit!

Schedule:

  • Practices: 2–3 times per week, depending on the squad. Practice days and times are at the discretion of the coach, and schedules will be shared closer to the start of the season. Additional practices for competitive squads are at the coach's discretion.
  • Games: Weekends, starting in August and running through November, depending on the football teams’ playoff status.

📌Additional fundraising may be needed for cheer gifts, homecoming, team parties, and special events.
