  • To be supplied by the parents: Pom Poms (you may re-use every season – we may also have a supply on a first-come first-serve basis), black sneakers, no-show socks, black compression shorts, and black crop top.
  • We ask that one family member for each cheerleader volunteer to help the league in some capacity.  On the registration form you will see each area for volunteering listed. 
  • Exclusive fun cheer events: in addition to cheering at games. We do our best to participate in these events, but there are no guarantees, they are based on interest, schedule, and logistics:
    • Citifield day – learn a dance and cheer on the actual field with the New York Jets Flight crew cheerleaders
    • West Point Day
    • Stony Brook University day –  run through the tunnel and cheer with the Stony brook cheerleaders
