Sign ups are open to grades 3-12 and the early registration fee for grades 36-6 is $65 due at sign ups, while the early fee for grades 7-12 is $180 dues at registration.

North Adams will also be adding cheerleading squads for the 2016 season and girls (grades 7-12) interested in cheering can also sign up this Saturday from noon- 3 p.m. at the Community Building. a fee of $150 is due at registration. Cheer registration for grades 3-6 will be held at a later date.
