History
WYC was started by Karen N. in 2012 when her girls were high school cheerleaders, as a way to allow every little girl to have an opportunity to be a sideline cheerleader for their siblings playing football. They started with just a few girls and the program grew exponentially within a few years! When her girls graduated she handed the reins to the first ever WYC board in 2018.
The mission of Willard Youth Cheerleading is to provide inspiration, enthusiasm, and support for the Willard Football League. Through the participation and instruction in the sport of cheerleading, WYC will promote good sportsmanship, personal integrity and accountability, team cooperation, health and fitness, self-confidence and empowerment.
