Pittsford Jr Panthers Football & Cheer

Welcome to the new home of the Pittsford Jr Panthers Football & Cheer Organization! Our goal for the program is to create an environment where our youth athletes learn the ideals of leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship in a fun and inclusive environment. To that end, our organization is committed to the following standards:

1. Your child’s safety on the field is our highest priority
2. Learn the game of football through modern instruction and proper technique.
3. Prepare our athletes for competition at higher levels (e.g. modified and varsity)
4. Provide a fun community atmosphere – “Panther Pride”

If any of the above is ever in question, don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. GO PANTHERS!!!
