Hampshire Jr Whip-Purs Football & Cheer

SHOW YOUR SPIRIT WITH THE JR. WHIP-PURS 

Joining The Hampshire Jr. Whip-Purs Youth Cheerleading program offers benefits that extend well beyond the sidelines. Cheerleading requires a combination of strength, flexibility, and coordination, fostering the development of athleticism and overall fitness. We prepare our Jr Whip-Purs athletes to participate in cheerleading programs at Hampshire Middle School, Dundee Middle School and eventually Hampshire High School. 

The team-oriented nature of cheerleading cultivates a strong sense of camaraderie and friendship, as members work together to create synchronized routines and lift each other's as well as all fans and spectators' spirits. The performance aspect of cheerleading helps build confidence and public speaking skills, as members showcase their talents and enthusiasm in front of large audiences. Joining the Jr Whip-Purs not only promotes a healthy and active lifestyle but also instills valuable life skills, creating a well-rounded and empowered individual ready to face the challenges of the football sidelines, basketball court and life beyond.

REDUCED FUNDRAISING OBLIGATION

To minimize the frequency of fundraising requests on parents, we're introducing a fresh approach this season. Upon registration, each athlete will receive fifteen (15) raffle tickets. Families have the option to sell these tickets and retain the proceeds, thereby offsetting up to $150 of the registration fees. Alternatively, they can hold onto the tickets and enter them into the Annual Raffle for a chance to win. The cash prizes will vary based on the number of athletes enrolled, following a sliding scale system.
