Join us on the sidelines (season starts late August and ends mid October)!
Rocket Cheer is football sideline cheerleading for students in grades 3-6.
Cheer teams are divided by grade level, and support the Rockford Rocket Football teams on the sidelines.
Teams are instructed by our Rocket Cheer Coaches (current and former Rockford Cheer Coaches), with current Varsity cheerleaders assisting.
Practices are on Wednesdays in the RHS Gymnastics Room-first practice is August 27, 2025.
Practice times are dependent on grade/team, but will take place between 5:30 and 8:00pm.
Rocket Football Games are on Saturdays starting in early September, at ERMS, NRMS or RHS. Game schedule will be shared with cheer families when it is made available (typically late August/early September).
All Rocket Cheer teams also get to cheer one quarter of a Varsity football game!
