About Us

The RWJFA Cheerleading Program is a part of RWJFA, a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to providing a fun and rewarding experience for athletes throughout the valley. Open to children of all abilities, our program focuses on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship while fostering a positive and inclusive environment.

We offer two divisions: Flag Cheer (ages 5-7) and Tackle Football Cheer (ages 8-14). Participants learn cheer fundamentals, including motions, chants, jumps, and halftime routines, with tackle cheer incorporating stunts and tumbling. Cheerleaders practice during the week and perform at Saturday games and events from August through November, bringing energy and excitement to the field while supporting our Red Wolves Junior Football teams.

As part of the Junior Red Wolves Cheer program, we always…

​RESPECT our coaches and directors! They are all volunteers and appreciate when they are treated with respect.  This includes communicating with coaches and directors and also respecting their time.

 Are ready to go every practice/game with the right clothes, hair pulled up, cheer bag packed, water & practice items.  We are teaching the cheerleaders RESPONSIBILITY and they need to be accountable. (e.g. Hair should always be pulled up in a high ponytail at all practices & games.  If you have short or shoulder length hair, you can put it half-up.)

 Work as a TEAM, which takes hard WORK & COOPERATION. This hard work results in achieving our goals as a team and individually.

 COMMUNICATE with your squad members, coaches, directors, and parents. This is key to your success on a cheer squad.  Learning to speak up and talk through conflict is a lifelong skill for everyone and something we continually work on.

 Are ACTIVE LISTENERS and accept help when given.  Don’t hesitate to ask for help or advice from any coach, squad member, or director.

Most importantly, we have fun! Whether your child is new to cheer or looking to advance their skills, RWJFA Cheer is the perfect place to grow, perform, and be part of a spirited team.
