GOLDEN BEARS Youth Football & Cheer
Est. 1969

For decades the
North Valley Golden Bears
Cheer Program has been
one of the most revered
youth non-profits in the
San Fernando Valley.
Fundamentals, technique,
character, and values
development are at the
forefront of our program.
Our structured training methods are designed to improve the novice to elite cheerleader's form, technique and dance skills. We provide the families of our community an affordable alternative to expensive year-around cheer clubs in a safe family environment delivering the same winning results. We empower our youth with mental, nutritional, character and life skill tools they need to become anything they want to be.
