The Bartlett Raider cheer program is for children from grades K through 8th.  Participants are placed on squads by school grade/age (as of September 1st) and are returned to the same squad season after season unless requested otherwise by a parent.  During our active season participation in any other competition squad is prohibited, with the exception of your school’s squad. 

Cheer begins practice in July.  We practice at a Bartlett U46 School.  During the months of July, August and the first two weeks of September cheer practices at a Bartlett U46 School Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5:30p.m. to 7:30 p.m.  The Raider k through 3rd grade squads (Flag Cheer) end practice at 7:00p.m.  The third week in September cheer switches to an indoor schedule with varying days and times.  The indoor schedule will be distributed by your coach sometime at the beginning of September.  The BGYFL Cheer Competition and Flag Show Case are held during the last couple of weekends in October.  Our 4th through 8th grade squads will practice everyday the week before competition. 

Our coaches, cheer committee and Raider board work hard together to keep our children first.  We rely on family participation; you not only contribute to the success of our program but also benefit through new friendships.  Your help in volunteering makes the Bartlett Raiders Football and Cheer program a reality not a dream.  Looking for ways to connect and help -- go to the Contact Us page and email or call the Bartlett Raiders.
