Darien Junior Cheerleading League: Cheerleading

“Our league gives girls the opportunity to learn age appropriate cheerleading skills while gaining an understanding of teamwork and community spirit.  The program serves as a foundation for cheerleading at the high school level.  We are looking forward to cheering and motivating our DJFL teams and joining all of the other Fairfield County Football League communities with a successful and rewarding cheerleading program.

The DJCL squads will consist of Darien girls in Grades 2 through 5.  The season runs from early September through early- to mid-November depending on playoff schedules and results.  

DJCL squads will cheer for DJFL tackle teams. DJFL home games are played at DHS Stadium on Saturdays and Sundays.  Games are approximately 1-1.5 hours long with the first game beginning at 8:00 am. Depending on DHS Stadium availability, DJFL games are scheduled throughout the day but are typically completed by 1:00 pm. 

Cheerleading squads will cheer mainly at HOME games and will only cheer ONE game per weekend. Cheering during inclement weather will be at the discretion of the coaches.”

Fall season practices are anticipated to be from 5-6:30pm on Fridays. Look for registration in April.
