Naperville Pom & Cheer is a girls cheerleading organization for girls entering 1st through 8th grades. The state requirement for 1st graders is that they are six years old on or before September 1, 2010. There are no tryouts and ALL girls will be part of a cheerleading group.
Naperville Pom & Cheer's goal is to introduce basic cheerleading skills and promote an enthusiastic environment at football games.
Assigning girls to squads is a challenging task! We group the girls according to their grade and school or choice of grade and school, if different. Siblings will be assigned to their brother's grade and school. Our squads may consist of girls of varying ages for these reasons. Sometimes, the football teams consist of boys from many schools or they may all be from the same school. It depends on the number of boys that register from a particular school and grade. Then, as we assign the squads, we place the girls and the siblings with their requested grade and school. No squad will have more than 15 girls! For this reason, coaches/assistants should not assemble their own squads. We also have to make sure that we have a coach/assistant and enough girls to form a squad. If there are not enough girls registered for a particular grade and school and/or there is not a volunteer coach, girls will be reassigned to a different division and/or nearby school. Siblings and cheerleading or football coaches' children do not automatically get on a squad. Placement is based completely on the order in which registration forms are received. As you can see, this is a very difficult process. Your understanding and patience is appreciated. If you have additional questions regarding the formation of squads, please email us at fbcheerinfo@napervillepomcheer.org. Please include "NPC" in the subject line.
For St. Raphael Football games, the season will begin with a cheerleading camp. The girls will attend camp on August 11th and August 12th from 4:30 - 6:00 pm or 6:30 - 8:00 pm. There will be two sessions on each of these days. We will post on this website which sessions you will attend in mid August. The location is Players Indoor Sports Center, 1740 Quincy Avenue, Naperville, Illinois. The football season starts September 11th and runs until October 30th.
Fees:
The registration fee is $110 per cheerleader. Football and cheerleading are run as separate organizations. If you have a football player and cheerleader, you must register your son with St. Raphael Football and your daugther through NPC. We do not offer family discounts, this is only available through St. Raphael for registering more than 1 football player. Please see their website for information.
The cost of the uniform (shell and skirt) is included and is yours to keep after the season. This year we will have a NEW style of uniform. All participants will be required to purchase a new uniform. For this reason, the old uniform will not be allowed to be used in order to keep all the participants looking the same. The girls will also receive a set of poms to match their team and a trophy, which are included in the above fees.
Late registration fees of $10 will be assessed after July 2nd. Registration will be closed July 31. This is different from previous years to ensure that your daugther receives her uniform and poms in time for the season.
If you are new to NPC, please include a copy of your daughter's birth certificate with your registration form.
If you know of anyone interested in joining Naperville Pom & Cheer, please direct them to the website. We will NOT be distributing registration forms through the school systems.
