Welcome to Airlanes Jr. Football & Cheerleading
Website Updated on 5/10/12
WELCOME BACK! We look forward to working with all of our football players and cheerleaders in 2012, the Forty-fourth season of Airlanes Football. Airlanes Jr. Football is a Not for Profit Organization that was established in 1968. Airlanes teaches over 500 boys and girls from the area each year, the fundamentals of football, cheerleading, and sportsmanship. Airlanes has received the Cheektowaga Service to Youth Award as an organization, and also has individuals that have received this award for their committment to youth. Airlanes is proud to have dedicated individuals that have contributed to our continuing success. Airlanes accomplishments are not seen in trophies and awards, but are seen in the character of those individuals who go on to serve the community with leadership, dedication, and knowledge, from the fundamentals they learned through football and cheerleading.
Please check out Football or Cheerleading for additional news and information specific to those programs.
