DARIEN JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Fall 2025 Program

To All Cheerleaders and Parents,

Welcome to the Darien Junior Cheerleading League (DJCL) Fall 2025 Season. Our league give girls the opportunity to learn age appropriate cheerleading skills while gaining an understanding of teamwork and community spirit. The program serves as a foundation for cheerleading at the high school level. We are looking forward to cheering and motivating our DJFL teams and join all the other Fairfield County Football League communities with a successful and rewarding cheerleading program.

The DJCL squads will consist of Darien girls in Grades 2 through 5. The season runs from early September through mid November depending on playoff schedules and results.
