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!
