Program
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
During the year the organization restructured its cheer program by separating sideline cheer and competition cheer into distinct program components. Previously competition participation was included within the standard cheer structure. The revised structure now allows families to enroll in sideline cheer independently with competition cheer offered as an optional add-on program for interested participants. This change broadened access to the organizations cheer services and aligned program fees more closely with associated competition costs. Importantly this adjustment did not affect the organizations exempt purpose.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
The organization provides youth tackle football programming for elementary and middle school athletes including practices games certified coaching equipment safety training and league participation. The program promotes teamwork leadership discipline and physical fitness. The organization offers youth cheer programming to support football activities and competitive opportunities. The program involves sideline cheer participation during the football season and optional competition cheer opportunities. Throughout the year the organization revamped its cheer program by dividing it into sideline and competition components. This adjustment enables families to engage in sideline cheer separately while providing competition cheer as an elective program. This modification increased accessibility and matched fees with competition-related expenses. Importantly this restructuring did not change the organizations exempt purpose.
