 The Homer Stallions cheer program teaches the basic fundamentals of cheerleading along with the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship and community pride.  Thru practice, cheering for football games and participating in competitions the girls are exposed to a wide variety of cheer and spirit activities.  Many Stallions cheerleaders go on to cheer in high school and college.

Cheerleaders can suffer concussions just like football players from contact with the ground or each other while stunting.

Concussion Awareness - Awareness for parents also

Parents, you know your child best.
When in doubt, sit them out

 

 Concussion Awareness
You have probably read about the recent Concussion law in Illinois which requires all high schools players to get medical approval before being allowed to return to play. Our league is making efforts to ensure we are aware of recognizing symptoms, understand basic prevention and what to do in case of a concussion. It is also important for Parents to understand the same, so please review the available information as well.

     Weather for practice...
    Please keep in mind that football and cheerleading is done at games even if it is raining. The only reason games are called is for lightning or excessively heavy rain. For this reason we enjoy practice in the rain. We will only cancel practice if we lose the fields due to excessive rain and the fields not being able to drain before practice. Before practice is called, we will check the fields and then make the decision.

     Lightning after practice starts...
      If you see lightning in the area after practice starts, Please return to the field to pick-up your children. If there are storms threatening, please remain at practice in case practice has to be cancelled after starting.

    The website will be updated before 5pm when practice is called off when possible. If we are at the field, we may not be able to update the website.

         For all practices and games;  

    Please keep your dogs on leashes

    Please maintain control of your animals

    Clean up after your dogs messes
