The Junior Bears Football & Cheer program is in its 45th season and is run by a 100% volunteer board.  This year alone we will have served over 450 athletes with our flag, 7on7, tackle football and cheer programs!  It takes a lot of dedicated volunteers to run the program.  If you have a passion for serving youth in our community we hope you will consider being a part of their future by getting involved in the Tahoma Junior Bears Football & Cheer program.
