American Youth Cheer (AYC)

The American Youth Football (AYF) League created a sister league uniquely for its’ Cheerleaders. This league is called American Youth Cheer (AYC). Any cheerleading, dance or step team who cheers for, or is affiliated with, an American Youth Football Team is automatically welcomed into this organization.

AYC also encourages Youth Cheerleading squads that are not affiliated with AYF football teams or rec football programs to join AYC independently. All Cheerleading & Dance squads are required to be registered as members of AYF/AYC as a non-affiliated cheer squad.

About UCA: UCA's goal is to inspire leadership on and off the field. All of UCA's material and programs are centrally focused on the traditional role of cheerleading. UCA believes the primary purpose of a cheerleader is to support athletic programs and lead the crowd before and during games. Cheerleaders play an instrumental role in raising, leading and maintaining school spirit in and around their communities. In short, they are leaders in building general morale at their school! See www.uca.com for more.
