Cheerleading
The Fitzgerald-Ben Hill Department of Leisure Services offers cheerleading for girls ages 7-12 years (age prior to September 1). Girls are divided into squads and cheer for teams in our youth football leagues during the September & October season.
Registration begins in July and ends the second Friday in August. For Ben Hill County residents, the registration fee is $50/child ($60/child non-resident). The registration fee includes squad t-shirt and pom-poms. Parents will need to provide shorts, socks, and shoes.
If registering after the deadline, a $10 late fee will be incurred. At that point, your child may be placed on a waitlist and may or may not be placed on a squad based on available spaces. No payment will be collected until your child is placed on a squad.
Squad practices begin in August & September with cheering at games during September & October. Practices are held at many of the city parks with cheering during football games held at various athletic facilities in the region.
You can make a difference in your community by volunteering to be a coach for a youth cheerleading squad.
To register for cheerleading, come to the DLS office beginning in July through the second Friday in August between 8am-5pm with the following:
