The joy and excitement that the Ft Sam Houston Youth Football and Cheer organization brings to the faces of the children and the families of present, past, and future players is priceless. However, this month the organization was told that it would not be offering the program any longer. This was the hardest news ever to give to families that look forward to the beginning of a new season. The Fort Sam Houston youth sports football and cheer program has been a tradition for so many families. Over the years many children have learned life lessons and made new friends as they have participated in the program. Often times, the coaches that you see coaching have also had the pleasure of playing or cheering for the organization when they were younger. The football and cheer program has always been a great asset to many familes going through PCS moves, deployments, or other situtations that the military life brings your way. Each and every child that has participated in the organization has left with at least something. That something being friendship, life lessons, or a sense of achievement.
If you would like to see this program continue to have a positive impact on the lives of players, parents, coaches, family and friends, please sign this petition. With your signature, you are saying that a program with such merit and character should continue to be a great asset not only to Fort Sam, but those who support, have supported, and want to support those black and gold colors. Sign this petition if you're a grandparent that never misses a game, or a parent that knows football and cheer helps to keep the kids active while a spouse was deployed. Sign this petition if you support youth physician fitness. Sign this petition if you once played for the organization and now your children participate in the organization. Sign this petition because you know in your heart that the Fort Sam Houston Football and Cheer Organization continues to give back to the post and it's community and should not be taken away.

The silence from base leadership is a choice so we need to keep the pressure on by sharing this link on Facebook today. Please email your local installation command representatives to ask why this program is being eliminated without a replacement. We are working behind the scenes to request a formal meeting to discuss these cuts.

March 4, 2015

The momentum behind this effort is undeniable and shows how much this program means to our community. Now we have to turn this energy into action by emailing your base commander to demand they keep the program alive. Tell them exactly why these teams matter to our families.

This program gives kids the opportunity to stay active and persue their dreams in either football or cheer. It's a fun and enjoyable experienced for the kids and it gives them a head start in continuing football or cheer in the future. I would, and I'm sure a lot of other people would want to see this program continue, it would be a shame if it didn't.

My daughter cheered for FSH for 3 years. It was an amazing experience. It taught her how to be a team player, confidence, and to never give up on herself. She has created the greatest bonds/friendships with her fellow cheerleaders and coaches. Go FSH!!

The FSH Football Program is a wonderful organization. My son started when he was five, he is 14 now. From the coaches to the team moms.. It's tradition, it's family. Most importantly, this program is necessary!

the FSH Cougsrs Football and Cheer programs were the best thing that happened to our family while stationed at FT Sam. It was our support system- for the adults and the kids- and gave my husband and I the opportunity to participate through coaching. It would be very sad to close such a terrific program/benefit to our military kids and their families.

Worse Idea i have ever heard of. Cutting the Football and Cheer Program would cut a direct link to the community of San Antonio. Not only that but it would force over 200 Family to play for other team and would lose about 13000$
