JR. Wildkit Family,

We're at week 4 and finally have our first home game. All 5 teams will play.
The first game starts at 12 PM and the last one at 6 PM.
We use our concessions stand, and your kind donations help us pay the costs for each home game - field rental, refs and trainers, and all other costs associated with practice and the games.
Every donation helps!

2026 EJWK CHEER INFO Summer & Fall Seasons

Hello everyone,

Evanston Jr. Wildkits Cheerleading is back again this year. We are so excited for another season. We are welcoming girls and boys 5-14 year old to focus on building confidence, teamwork and athletic skills in a fun, positive and energetic environment. Participants learn fundamentals cheer techniques including jumps, chants, teamwork, self-esteem while developing strength, coordination, and flexibility. Teams are based on age and skill level, allowing each cheerleader to progress at their own pace. Practices emphasize discipline, spirit, and sportsmanship, preparing athletes for performances at sports events, competitions and community showcases.

Beyond physical skills, youth cheerleaders promote friendships, leadership, and a positive team mentality, making it an exciting and rewarding experience for young athletes. We want every cheerleader to have the opportunity to be the best and to understand hard work. We want them to take any and everything they learn in this program and use it in their everyday life. We would like to build all cheerleaders up to understand how trusting and working with others can be beneficial to them in the long run. We want cheerleaders to have fun and give words of encouragement.


The first practice day is June 11th (weather permitting), 2026 at 5:30pm. Practice is located at James Park by the big hill, next to the park. Practices are every Tuesday and Thursday unless cancelled or changed by directors. This summer program fee is $65.00. This includes a $25.00 registration fee, $40.00 for t-shirt, shorts and bow. This fee is due by June 26th, 2026. This gives enough time for us to order everything for performance in the 4th of July Parade. Details about the parade will be given out soon.

The official cheer season which starts In August will cost $200.00. The deadline for payment is July 28th, 2026. There will be a payment plan option but there are no scholarships at this time. The breakdown and cost will be given during parent meet and greet. Parents and participants will need to sign a cheer contract to ensure both parties are in agreement with the expectations for participating on the team.
