Welcome to Waynesville Youth Football & Cheerleading!

Empowering Youth, Building Champions, and Fostering Fun

At Waynesville Youth Football & Cheerleading, we're more than just a sports program—we're a community dedicated to nurturing young talent and building a solid foundation for the future of football and cheerleading in Waynesville. As the official feeder program for our junior high and high school teams, we're committed to three core goals:

Our Goals

  1. Ensuring Kids Have Fun: Sports should bring joy. Our programs are designed to make every practice, game, and cheer routine an enjoyable experience for all participants.

  2. Excellence in Football & Cheer: We strive to develop each child's skills, confidence, and passion for football and cheerleading, setting the stage for future successes on and off the field.

  3. Building Solid Teams: By fostering a culture of teamwork, dedication, and respect, we aim to create cohesive units that embody the spirit and strength of the Waynesville community.

For Every Grade, A Team Awaits

3rd to 6th Grade Teams: 

We offer a structured program for children in grades 3 through 6, from the basics to advanced techniques. Each team is designed to cater to the developmental needs of its age group, ensuring a positive and productive experience for all.

Why Waynesville?

Community and Growth: We're more than a program; we're a family. As participants learn and grow, they also contribute to the rich tradition of Waynesville football and cheerleading.

Skill Development and Fun: Our experienced coaches are dedicated to fostering an environment where children can improve their skills, enjoy themselves, and form lasting friendships.

A Path Forward: Our program is the first step toward athletic and personal development, leading to opportunities in junior high and high school sports in Waynesville.

We are a Volunteer Run Program

Our organization is 100% volunteer run. We rely on our parents/families to help in this effort in order to keep costs down for our players/cheerleaders. All parents are required to complete ONE volunteer shift per family during the season. This shift is in our concession stand. The shift is typically the length of one game. These are only for home games and are split between football and cheer families. A sign up will be sent out prior to the season starting.

New for 2026 - Volunteer Buyout Option

Starting with the 2026 season, we will be offering a volunteer buyout option. If you know you will not be able to volunteer for a shift during the season, you can choose to pay $40 extra during registration. This option is only available at the time of registration. If you do not select the buyout option, it is assumed you will be completing one volunteer shift.
