OYF Cheer Philosphy

The Philosphy of the OYF Cheer Program is composed of four main objectives:

1) To provide a wholesome, enjoyable experience of cheerleading at Optimist Youth Football games for youths ages 4 years through 12 years old. The basic fundamentals of cheer techniques, teamwork, good sportsmanship, discipline, and response to leadership will be taught.

2) To encourage the cheerleaders to maintain satisfactory grades in school and to emphasize the importance of keeping a proper relationship and balance between scholastic and cheer endeavors.

3) To provide a satisfying, rewarding experience for cheer coaches, sponsors, and the OYF teams through their relationships in teaching and working with youth.

4) To provide a well organized and implemented program that is appreciated and favorably received by the parents and the community.

The program is administered under the Optimist Youth Football committee and is part of the Boise Noon Optimist Club.
