See below for more team-specific information:

“The Skippers”-Grades 2, 3 & "new to cheer" 4th graders**

**4th Graders who were not cheerleaders last year as a "Skipper" must sign up for Skippers (Falmouth Community Programs). 4th Graders who were Skippers in the 2024 season may sign up for "Commanders" on this website's registration beginning April 1st**

“The Commanders”-Grades 5&6*

“The Captains”-Middle School-Grades 6th-8th*

*The Commanders & The Captains require a TWO practice per week commitment, while FHS Varsity requires a 3-4x/week practice commitment. In order for our cheerleaders to confidently learn a game day routine, learn their cheers, and maintain safety standards during our stunts, it is important to be present at practice. While there are plenty of Falmouth fall sports to be involved in, we believe “Cheer” is an exceptional environment for kids to become their all-around personal BEST. Cheerleading is an excellent avenue for athletes to learn self-confidence, goal setting, teamwork, communication skills, sportsmanship, and develop life-long friendships.
