Pembroke Youth Association Cheerleading

We are a community-based youth organization dedicated to empowering young athletes. PYA Dragons Cheer is built on a model of progression—from the beginner-friendly Pom Squad to our advanced Fall and Winter competition teams. ​As our program continues to grow, our vision is to establish a permanent, year-round home for PYA Cheer. A dedicated facility will serve as a hub for youth development in our area, ensuring our athletes have the resources and space they need to reach their full potential in a safe, supportive environment.

The Pembroke Youth Association (PYA) Cheer program offers a comprehensive, year-round athletic experience with three distinct levels of participation: ​Pom Squad (Game Day Cheer): A beginner-friendly program focused on sideline spirit, crowd engagement, and cheering at home football games. ​Fall Competition Cheer (Traditional Rec): A step up in commitment featuring local Western New York (WNY) competitions. Athletes perform a 30-second cheer and a 2-minute dance routine, culminating in a season finale in Syracuse. ​Winter Competition Cheer (Performance Rec): Our most advanced and performance-focused tier. This program emphasizes skill progression through a full 2:30 music routine, offering a separate experience and routine from the fall season. ​Whether a child wants to experience the fun of a game day or the thrill of a high-level competitive stage, PYA Dragons Cheer provides the perfect platform for every skill level.
