Cheerleading
Berkeley Heights PAL Cheerleading is open to Berkeley Heights and Mountainside students.
We cheer for the Jr. Highlander PAL football teams.
Please contact Coach Michelle at mhanko@bhpal.org with questions.
Ages
Grades 3 - 8
Teams will be formed based on age level and skill.
When
Season runs from August thru mid-November, depending on how far the football teams advance in the playoffs.
Registration will open June 1st.
Games
Games will be on Sundays (some Saturday games may be scheduled)
The schedule for Sunday games (when and where each team will cheer) will be determined when the weekly football schedule is confirmed and is subject to change on a weekly basis.
Practices
Practice will be Wednesday nights 5:30-7 beginning the last week of August. Practice is mandatory.
Uniforms & Equipment
The registration fee includes the uniform and poms.
Cheerleaders are responsible for other misc items (shoes, socks, bows, and shorts.)
Links/directions for purchasing all misc items will be provided beginning in early August.
Travel
This is considered a travel sport and all participants will be expected to attend away games.
Registration is limited 50 participants. Typically we have 2 teams. These teams will alternate who they cheer for. Once Jr. Highlander teams are set, we can determine which teams we are able to cheer for. Please note teams will not cheer for their own age every weekend.
