About the Livonia Blue Jays Cheer Program
The Livonia Blue Jays Cheer Program is a part of the Livonia Junior Athletics League (LJAL) consisting on four Livonia Units (Blue Jays, Falcons, Orioles, and Eagles). These units are divided by residency in Livonia. If you are unsure of what unit you belong to, or would like to review the unit boundaries, please visit the LJAL website HERE.
The LJAL organizes its Cheer and Football program teams by the grade your child will be in for the upcoming year. Looking ahead for the 2026 season, it will be for the school year of 2026-2027. All four units begin at their youngest level at 1st Grade.
Our teams are divided by the following grades:
-
Flag: 1st - 2nd
-
Freshman: 3rd - 4th
-
Junior Varsity: 5th - 6th
-
Varsity: 7th - 8th
The cheer season runs from August through early November, including playoffs. This is a sideline cheer program, meaning cheerleaders support the football team at weekly games and do not regularly compete. The season concludes with an optional—but highly encouraged—end-of-season competition called Cheerfest.

Practice at Home!
Please, please, please make sure your cheerleaders are practicing at home!
They are being thrown a lot of information including sideline cheers, game day prep, halftime routines, Cheerfest pom routines, and Cheerfest cheer routines.
It is important for the cheerleaders to practice at home so they can come to practice knowing the materials they learned at the practices before. This allows the coaching staff to move forward with routines and cheers and not have to reteach material.
We only have our Junior Coaches so many days of the week and we want to make sure we are utilizing them when they are here to teach Cheerfest material.
It is also important to continue stretching at home!
