The DJCL Program has been developed to provide Sideline Cheerleading at DJFL Tackle Football games during the Fall season.  Part of the Fairfield County Football League (FCFL), DJFL teams play tackle football games on Saturdays and Sundays during September through November.  The FCFL is comprised of 8 towns playing youth football –  Darien, Fairfield, New Canaan, Norwalk, Ridgefield, Weston, Westport and Wilton.  Darien is excited to join all of the other FCFL communities in offering a junior cheerleading program. 

The DJCL program will serve Darien Resident girls in grades 2 through 5 and will be run and managed by dedicated parent volunteers. The program will provide girls the opportunity to learn age appropriate cheerleading skills to cheer on Darien’s youth football teams. 
From this CHEERLEADING tab on the DJFL website, you will be able to get news, forms, registration details, program information, schedules and much more as the website continues to develop.  Check back frequently to get updates about the program and the latest information.
We are very excited to offer this league to Darien girls and look forward to being part of Darien’s football tradition.

The overall objective of the DJCL program is to provide an age appropriate program in a positive and encouraging environment to learn the skills of cheerleading. The ultimate goal of the program is to develop an understanding of teamwork, community spirit and provide a solid foundation for cheerleading at the high school level.

The most important goal of the program is to provide a safe and healthy environment for learning the skills of cheerleading. 

The program will offer an opportunity to:
Have an inspiring and fun experience in cheerleading and focus on teamwork and spirit.
Learn and master the basic skills of arm motions, drills and cheers.
Motivate and cheer our DJFL football players to enhance the overall football game experience for players, parents, coaches and cheerleaders.
