PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY
The Riverside Bulldogs are strictly a competitive youth cheerleading organization. While our goals include having fun, teaching the fundamentals of cheerleading, sportsmanship, and teamwork, our goal is to attend the Pop Warner Nationals in Charlotte, NC. As such, registering your child in our program means that you understand that reality, and should we qualify for Nationals, your child will attend. If you feel that you cannot commit to attending all competitions, including Nationals in North Carolina, please reconsider your child’s participation in our program. We do not want to turn any athletes away; however, it creates undue stress for the coaches and athletes when we must rework a routine for missing athletes when we already have very limited practice time and space.
Signups for Ages 4 - 18 - Teams will be created based on the ages and number of signups
Registration will close on July 1, 2026. All fees must be paid no later than August 1, 2026
A $25 non-refundable fee for any child who drops before the signup closing date of July 1, 2026 - NO REFUNDS AFTER THIS DATE!
Registration must be paid in full. If you would like to pay later, please click the “Pay Later” button.

New for 2026, the Bulldogs will be implementing a mandatory fundraiser for all athletes within the organization. We will launch a Double Good Fundraiser shortly after the season begins. All athletes will be required to sell a minimum of $200 worth of popcorn. If you do not meet that goal, you will be responsible for paying the difference (ex. You sell $60 worth, you would owe $140 to meet the goal). If you do not wish to participate in the fundraiser, you can opt out by paying a $100 buyout fee. Money earned from this fundraiser will be used to offset costs related to music, cheer camp, etc.
Purchase at Walmart, Target, etc.
