The Marquette Junior Mustangs Football Program is associated with the Park-Rock Junior Football League which is comprised of middle school age boys in the Parkway and Rockwood schools. The Junior Mustangs Football program is a non-profit program that is sponsored by the Marquette Football Booster Club. The Jr. Mustangs program is NOT affiliated with the Rockwood School District. The Jr. Mustangs Cheerleaders are governed by the Jr. Mustangs Cheerleading Association (JMCA) Board and are likewise not affiliated in any way with Rockwood School District. The Jr. Mustangs Cheerleading Program is part of the Rockwood Junior Cheer Association (RJCA), a group that emphasizes cooperation among coaches, parents, and affiliated leagues and clubs. The Park-Rock Junior Football League and the RJCA are given exclusive permission by the Rockwood School District to use district facilities for practices and games.

The primary reason for the program is to provide a positive, fun atmosphere where future Mustangs can demonstrate their school spirit at Jr. Mustang football games. This is a non-competitive cheer/spirit team with an emphasis on learning basic cheerleading skills, including proper movements, technique, sharpness, enthusiasm, spirit and etiquette. The program exists solely to enhance the student’s middle school experience, while they begin to learn basic skills required for cheerleading at the high school level.
