The Tinley Park Bulldogs Cheer Program is designed for Kindergarten - 8th grade cheerleaders. This program will teach your child fundamental skills of cheerleading and make lots of memories along the way! The Bulldogs program is a community oriented program that supports the skill development and character of our athletes. Our cheerleaders proudly cheer for the Bulldogs Football teams on the sidelines at the games. The cheerleaders will be showcased each game through their halftime performance on the football field. They will be introduced by name at each halftime. The cheerleaders participate in a Pep rally held at the Bulldogs football field the night before the Homecoming festivities. Then at Homecoming, the whole Cheer Program performs a special routine created specifically for our homecoming theme, at each level of football. It's a fun filled day of cheer & football and community fun!

RECREATIONAL CHEER REGISTRATION CLOSES APRIL 15TH
In 1961, Betty Gunther headed a very small group of women for an equally important and ever-so-vital activity that girls could call their own, The Bulldogs Cheerleaders. The impact of establishing such a “girls program” was perfect timing, and her vision to see it through was nothing less than remarkable.
The early 60’s and prior, sports were exclusively reserved for the male gender, with very few if any extra opportunities for young girls. Because of the spirit of competition and the love of the game these girls were able to focus on teamwork and sportsmanship which gave them the sense of belonging which are equally vital aspects of sports activities, no less vital to girls than boys. Such a cheer-leading squad was the ideal solution for the younger girls of Tinley Park to develop athletic skills they desired.
Betty Gunther organized bake sale fundraisers at Tinley Park business to generate money to defray the cost of uniforms and equipment. Women like Betty Gunther set the stage for our young ladies to become athletes and be a part of a team. She also provided us as parents with the necessary experience and tools to teach and guide our very own children on the benefits of getting involved in our community. Betty Gunther showed us the way and we are able to continue her spirit every year making it better than the one before us. Betty Gunther may not have invented youth cheer-leading everywhere, but she most certainly did in Tinley Park.
The Betty Gunther Award is for that young lady that is a MVP both on and off the field. She is someone that demonstrates leadership skills, a pillar in the community, does well in school, and is helpful to everyone around her. This person most often puts her heart and soul in everything they do. The voting for this award is done by the Varsity Coaches and their fellow cheerleaders.
