About
San Ramon Valley Thunderbirds Football & Cheer offers youth football, cheerleading, spiritleaders, and football camp. The program includes both football teams and cheer or spirit squads under the San Ramon Valley Thunderbirds name.
The San Ramon Valley Thunderbirds Football and Cheerleading programs state that they exist “For the Kids” and focus on football and cheerleading skills, good sportsmanship as part of a competitive team, individual character and self-esteem, community, fun, and “T-Bird Pride.” The organization describes itself as the oldest youth organization in the area. The program lists a leadership team that includes Joe Dame’, Pete Villa, Bob Ladouceur, and Scott Russell.
Founded in 1958, the organization played its first season in 1959. In 1963 it moved to Danville and became officially known as the San Ramon Valley Thunderbirds, and in 1964 the cheerleading program began. Over time, the program added multiple football levels: the Jr. Midget level in 1978, Peewees in 1980, and the first Jr. Peewee team in 1987, and the Jr. Bantams became Midgets in 1982. The organization notes that 1988 marked its 30th anniversary.
The football program has a long record of league titles, bowl appearances, and undefeated seasons, including participation in the Gold Rush Bowl, Blue and Silver Bowl, and Turkey Bowl at various levels. The cheer and spiritleader program has a history of top finishes in conference, district, state, regional, and national competitions, including events in the Diablo Valley Conference, at Great America, UC Davis, Disneyland, and national cheer competitions where squads earned multiple first-place awards. The organization states that its football and cheer participants engage in “community” as part of the overall program focus.
