Alliance Cheer Team

Welcome to the NLFA Alliance Cheerleaders

The Official Dance & Spirit Team of the North Louisiana Football Alliance
Where Performance Meets Purpose.

We are launching a select dance and spirit team of the NLFA — and you have the opportunity to be part of a team that’s not just exciting, but impact-driven. This team will bring energy to the field and inspiration to the community.

Who We Are

We are a dance-based performance team rooted in spirit, leadership, and mentorship. While we incorporate cheer elements, this is a dance-forward squad designed for passionate individuals ready to perform with purpose.

Our team directly aligns with the NLFA’s mission to bridge the gap for underserved young adults, offering opportunities not only in athletics but also in life. Together, we’re creating a platform that uplifts, develops, and empowers.

How We Align with the NLFA Mission

Just like the NLFA’s athletes, our cheerleaders gain real experience, life prep, and leadership tools — not just movement skills.

    We represent a league built to uplift young people through structured growth.
    We serve as ambassadors for mentorship, accountability, and leadership.
    We mirror NLFA’s goals of life skill development, career readiness, and positive representation.
    We provide opportunities for networking, visibility, and personal growth — on and off the field.
