Puyallup Jr Vikings Football & Cheer

We appreciate your interest in coaching for our 2025 Sideline Cheer Season. Coaching is a huge commitment of time and dedication and we appreciate your support.

As you go through and fill out this application please keep in mind the following information as attendance is key to having a successful season.

We start conditioning in May. May & June will be twice a week in a local park or elementary school field, weather depending. This is not mandatory for coaches to attend but it is encouraged.

July we will begin practicing twice a week but start to add stunts and dances. It is expected that coaches attend all these practices (baring illness or prior communicated commitments).

Our Mandatory season is August. Coinciding with our competition season. We practice 3 days a week. Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday from 6-8pm. We need all coaches on hand during these practices.

Games are every Saturday from September-November. Schedule with game times and locations will be posted from the League as soon as they are available (Usually end of August)

After Labor Day weekend (when lights and weather change) practices will move indoors.

There will be coaches meetings before our season starts with advance notice of these meetings. We will also require the following certifications to be completed prior to September.

• Stunt Certification
• Complete and pass the USA Cheer Background check 

We expect coaches to attend PJV events (Ex: fundraisers, parades, uniform fittings, parent meetings, team BBQ's, Santa Parade, etc.).

We expect each coach to treat our athletes with respect and as the valuable people they are.  A child should only be better for being a part of PJV. We encourage and inspire our athletes to do their best- we know they are children, not professionals. 

**The complete expectations of PJV coaches can be found in the coaches handbook. You will receive a copy before beginning coaching.**
