PAFA Cheer and Flags

PAFA Cheer and Flags is for girls in grades 1-8. We are an instructional organization whose primary focus is learning sideline cheers and halftime routines in preparation for high school cheer and flags. Regular season games begin in late August and continue thru playoffs in mid November for all squads. A mandatory pre-season clinic is scheduled for one week in the beginning of August in the evenings. During clinic week the girls learn many cheers, stunts, and flag skills that they will use throughout the season. Practices are held once a week for Mini and Junior Cheer (grades 1-4) and twice a week for Intermediate and Senior Cheer (grades 5-8) and Flags (grades 6-8) during the season. Games are played in Palatine or the surrounding suburbs mostly on Saturday, possibly Sunday, each weekend. Flags perform at two games each weekend that the teams are home. In addition, Intermediate and Senior Cheer squads will have the opportunity to compete locally in the fall. Competition is meant to give the girls a taste of competitive/All Star skill level cheering. Additional practice dates and fees are announced during the season.
