All cheerleaders will be expected to participate in hope to raise enough money to cover the cost of the fees.

Age Groups

Winter Cheerleading is for girls ages 5-16 years of age, who like to compete in Competitions. Our program will start December and will end in March. This program has been designed for cheerleaders with or with out any cheerleading or tumbling experience.  Competitions are a lot of fun, but practicing and preparing for them is a lot of hard work and therefore requires a serious commitment from both the parents and the cheerleader. Attendance is mandatory at every practice. It is important that our cheerleaders feel well prepared and confident when they perform.  Cheerleading helps build confidence and self-esteem and will be a very fun and rewarding experience for the girls.

Squads will be determined after sign-ups and will depend on registration.

Practices

Practices will be held two nights a week, One of those nights will be held at a School, and the other night will be held at a cheer gym (1st class gymnastics), where we will work on tumbling, stunting and conditioning. The cost of this will be approximately $35.00 a month and will run about 3 months. Payment, in full, will be due the first week of practice. Additional practices may be added closer to competitions if needed. The days and times of these practices will be determined after sign ups.

Volunteers

Volunteers are always needed and very much appreciated.  There are many different ways to volunteer within our program.  We need help with many things such as Homecoming, Picture Day, Uniform Handouts, Spirit Table Coverage, Fundraising, etc.  We also like to have a parent from each squad to be the "Team Parent" and help to coordinate snack lists, phone trees, fundraising, car pools, etc. for that particular squad.  Whatever you are willing to do is greatly appreciated!
