CONGRATULATIONS to the 12U Junior Pride SYF Division 5 2019 Champions!
The Bradshaw Christian Jr. Pride Football program is a youth football program designed to teach the fundamentals of football while developing Godly character in our youth. Bradshaw Christian is a non-denominational program that is Christ-centered. We want to be held accountable to a high standard and strive towards excellence, both on and off the field. We want our athletes to learn the game of football while being a lighthouse in the community. Our football program is a family commitment, and we stress relationship building, respect, communication, and great sportsmanship from our coaches, players, parents, families, and fans.
Bradshaw Christian wants you to join our Pride. We are a family and we want to reach out to our community to offer a healthy choice for your kids to learn/play the game of football at a young age. This year we will be enhancing our coaches training and executing our game plan straight from the Bradshaw Christian High School playbook designed by Head Varsity Coach, Drew Rickert, and his coaching staff. Again this is a community based program, you do not need to attend Bradshaw Christian.

Cheer
10U Jr. Pride SYF 2018 Cheer Competition Champions
The mission of Bradshaw Christian’s Cheer Program is to glorify God by following His guidance in transforming lives through servant leadership, academic excellence and accountability, developing spiritual growth, promoting school spirit and excellence in athletics. Bradshaw Christian Cheerleaders are responsible for acting as ambassadors to visiting schools, fellow peers and administrators as well as parents. The standards are high and we demonstrate unparalleled excellence in all that we are involved in; every practice, rally, game, and competition. This includes teaching cheer technique, stunts, jumps, crowd leading chants and cheers, but it is much more. Through cheerleading at BCS, we have the ability to eternally impact the lives of our athletes.
The Bradshaw Christian Cheer Program is alive and growing! Are you ready to join us in praising God and sharing some school spirit? Registration is now open for the 2022-2023 school year. Please see the 2022 handbook below to learn more about our Jr. Pride cheer program.
Our Elementary and Middle School aged program cheers for our Jr. Pride football team. We cheer on Saturday games during the football season and cheer for the Middle School basketball program when football ends. Our program runs from June until January. The Jr. Pride cheer program is part of the SYF football league this year. Come support our Jr. Pride Football and Cheer programs and join us in showing our teams some BCS spirit!
We are actively looking for strong Christian coaches who have a desire to mentor and coach our cheerleaders. If you are interested in coaching or if ..you have any questions regarding our cheer program, please contact our athletics department.

Policies & Procedures
Important Reminders Regarding Parent Communication during Practices and Games
- Parents are not allowed to communicate with their kids during practices or games. Please feel free to stay and watch practices, or cheer at games, but please do not communicate with your child during that time. He needs to stay focused on his coaches, his teammates, and the game, and sometimes parental communication or instruction can be distracting.
- Parents are also not allowed onto the football field during practices or games. If you are staying to watch a practice, please sit on the other side of the running track. During games, parents are not allowed on the field either, unless you have a volunteer position assigned there for that game. If you are needed on the field for your child, a coach or medic will come get you.
Sports Physicals
Every child participating in football must have a sports physical completed on or after July 1st. Unfortunately, physicals completed prior to July 1st will not be accepted by the league.
July Football Camp
Every year there is a football camp to give the young athletes a taste of what is to come, as well as a concentration on the skills and conditioning that help them to excell in the sport of football.
Registration
Registration for Jr Pride football begins in February 23rd and will remain open until there are no spots available for a particular team. It is on a first come, first serve basis. There are no tryouts.
Volunteer Hours
Our program relies on volunteers to make it successful. The fact is, we cannot run this program for the kids without your help. Every Jr. Pride family is required to volunteer for 12 hours during the season. Families with two players are required to volunteer 18 hours.
During the season, you will have access to the volunteer sign-up site to register for your hours. The volunteer positions are listed, and you can choose which game you would like to volunteer at to fulfill your required hours. You do not have to volunteer during your child’s game.
Some examples of volunteer positions are: Field set-up and clean-up, gate (taking money), snack bar, BBQ, parking lot attendant, videographer during the game, announcer, timekeeper, PAR, and many more. There is something for everyone and you do not have to be a football expert to fill these positions.
For more information on how to sign up to become a volunteer, please contact our Athletic Director, Kurt Takahashi .
