Welcome to FCCJC, the foremost cheerleading program in Johnson County. The purpose of our program is to give youth a practical cheerleading experience and provide cheerleaders for fall football games September through mid-November. The Shawnee Mission and Olathe areas may also cheer for basketball, December through February.
LOCATION
- Football games are played at the Heritage Park Football Complex, 16240 Pflumm, Olathe.
- Basketball games are generally played in Johnson County school district facilities.
- Practice locations for cheer squads are arranged by the coach.
SQUAD FORMATION
- Squads are formed by high school area and grade. Cheerleaders will participate with others from their same high school.
- Occasionally it will be necessary for area directors to make a placement up or down a grade or with another school. This is only done when a squad doesn’t have a minimum of 5 or is an overly large squad.
COACHING
- The success of our program depends on quality adult leadership and participation. We thrive on the support and involvement of parents whose children take part in the program.
- Coaches, assistant coaches and youth squad assistants are always needed. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
- If you are willing to share your enthusiasm and time with a squad, please let the area director know by phone or at registration.
