All football game schedules are determined by the Chesterfield Quarterback League, but typically games start the first weekend of the first week of the school year.
Besides cheering at games, will the PAA cheerleaders participate with other activities?
Yes! On August 10th, we'll be attending the Chesterfield Cheerleader League cheer camp! We've been attending for years, and it's a great day of fun, cheering, dancing, tumbling and team building!
We'll also have a ton of fun celebrating our homecoming game in October.
And then on October 20th, our Flag squad will be participating in the CCL Spectacular Exhibition.
Not to mention our big end of season banquet in November, where we celebrate all our teams accomplishments!
Are you looking for cheer coaches and other volunteers this year?
Great question! And absolutely!
We are always in need of cheer coaches, team parents and other volunteers to help with the concession stand at games, fundraising and lots of other activities.
We're also looking for junior coaches! So if you know of a teenager who'd like to assist with coaching our cheer squads, we could definitely use their assistance! And it's a great way for them to earn volunteer hours!
So please let us know if you would like to help! PAA is a volunteer organization, and we definitely need all of our parents to participate and assist in order to be successful.
