1. Skill Development: We prioritize skill development in both football and cheerleading. Through expert coaching and structured programs, we equip our participants with the tools they need to excel on and off the field.

2. Sportsmanship: We instill the importance of fair play, respect, and integrity. Our athletes learn that winning is not just about the score but also about how they conduct themselves as individuals and as part of a team.

3. Character Building: Beyond the game, we focus on character development. Our players and cheerleaders learn discipline, perseverance, and resilience—qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives.

4. Community Engagement: We are deeply rooted in our community. As a non-profit organization, we are dedicated to serving the children and families of Pleasant Grove and beyond. Our volunteers, including community leaders and parents, play a vital role in shaping our program.

At Pleasant Grove Jr Eagles, we strive to represent the spirit of the eagle. It’s more than a mascot—it’s a symbol of courage, vision, and unity. We want every family member to feel the embrace of Eagle Pride, knowing that together, we soar to new heights.

Since 2007, the Pleasant Grove Jr Eagles have been proud members of the Sacramento Youth Football Network (SYF). Our track record speaks for itself:

• Division championships: We’ve competed at the highest level and emerged victorious.
• Yearly playoffs: Our teams consistently qualify for the playoffs, showcasing their talent and determination.
• Cheer competition championships: Our spirited cheerleaders have shone brightly in competitions throughout all seasons.

Our family extends beyond the field. It includes dedicated volunteers, parents, and community leaders. Each member brings unique perspectives and backgrounds, enriching our program. We believe that every family member contributes to our success, and without their support, our organization would not thrive.

We are committed to creating a seamless integration with Pleasant Grove High School (PGHS). By aligning our football and cheer program with PGHS, we aim to enhance the overall high school experience for our participants. This integration will foster a sense of community, tradition, and pride that extends beyond the playing field. Our goal is to build a lasting love for the game, connecting Jr. Eagles to the rich legacy of PGHS.

Join us as we continue to build character, create memories, and celebrate the joy of football and cheerleading. Together, we are the Pleasant Grove Jr Eagles!
