Welcome Future Bulldog Cheerleaders and Parents, 

The BYF cheer program is one of the best competitive programs in the area. We are working hard in the off season, planning to continue the tradition of success and improvement of our Brighton cheerleaders.  We are regarded as one of the best programs in the Michigan Youth Football and Cheer Conference (MYFCC), and our successes at super Cheer in recent years continue place us among the ones to watch!!

Our coaches are very experienced, having been involved with cheerleading, at the youth sports level and at Brighton Area Schools, for many years.  We work very hard to continue to educate ourselves, staying in touch with all that is going on in cheerleading, at the youth level, at the middle schools and high school, and within the Michigan High School Athletics Association.

We are extremely proud of the integrity of the BYF organization, striving to build not only the “best of the best” in cheerleading, but we work hard to turn out excellent young ladies who regard cheerleading not as a hobby, but a sport and all that it entails – the hard work, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm for their sport and teammates.

Registration:  Registration for football and cheer happens in early March.  Please see the Registration page for more detailed information, or send your email address to our secretary for newsletters and updates.  Our secretary, can be contacted by e-mail at secretary@brightonyouthfootball.net or by phone 810-220-9422 for more information.

Practice/Season Begins: Our first practice begins the first week of August and continues 4 days / week until school starts.  After school starts, practices are 3 days / week.  Starting in late August, we cheer at the BYF football games, which are played on Saturdays or Sundays depending on field availability, and continue through late October.  Our SuperCheer competition is held typically the second Saturday in November.

There are some “cheer gear” requirements that need to be obtained by every cheerleader, such as shoes and clothing. Uniforms are provided by the organization.  These will be outlined at open Registration in March.  All practices are at Hawkins Elementary and home games are at Brighton High School.

Football and cheer camp is also held in May.  While not a requirement to attend, it is an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the other participants and all the coaches of the organization.  For more information, check the Camp page.

Further information can be obtained by checking out our Frequently Asked Questions page or by contacting any board member, or our hotline: 810-220-9422, mailbox:  P.O. Box 633, Brighton, MI 48116, or the Director of Cheer at  cheer.director@brightonyouthfootball.net or by viewing our website:  www.brightonyouthfootball.net .

CHEERS!  *\0/*
