Lanyce, I assume you mean gridiron football and not soccer. There are no football programs there. Don't know about the cheerleading. There is baseball for ages 4 to 18. This is open to boys and girls. The baseball is not through the school is a little league type program. The contact information that I got out of Marhaba (a publication that is a must when you get there) Ed Dixon at 974-556-0975. This was listed in the Spring/Summer 2007 Marhaba. I am sure the newer version has come out by now. I am still in the states but my husband is now working in Doha. One of the reasons I stayed back was because of football. My son is a Freshman in high school and has played since he was 9 years old. Not to mention I think the high school coach would have kidnapped him if I had decided to leave. They have been watching him for a while.
I think you can find a lot of useful info there as well. Similar to the Qatar Living site.
Best of luck. If I can help with anything else please feel free to send a Private message. Not living in Doha but have lived in the Middle East in the past.

However, there are tons of other sports that your son could participate in. Sports are a really big deal in Qatar. The American School has an awesome track team from what I've been told.
