Eden Prairie Youth Cheer is a community-focused cheerleading program designed for students in grades 1-8 (as of Fall 2025). Whether your child is brand new to cheerleading or already has some experience, our program provides a supportive and exciting environment to learn and grow. Participants will practice twice a week, cheer at Eden Prairie Football Association (EPFA) home games, and develop skills in tumbling, stunting, and cheer fundamentals.

Our mission is to build confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills in a fun and structured setting. There are no cuts during tryouts, and all teams are divided by grade level, ensuring that every participant has a chance to shine.

The cost to participate in Eden Prairie Youth Cheer is $450 per cheerleader, which matches the registration fee for EPFA football. This ensures all participants receive the same value for their experience.

• All required apparel and gear:
  • Cheer top and skirt
  • Cheer shoes
  • Jacket
  • Pom-poms
