Competition squads can continue to mid-January.

Uniforms

All cheerleaders will need to be fitted for uniforms.  Each participant will be issued the following items that will need to be returned at the end of the season:  Uniform (Shell and Skirt), Pom-poms, and a Warm-up Jacket. Gameday Bows are provided for each cheerleader to keep. Liners, briefs, socks, cheer specific sneakers, and competition bows are at cheerleader's expense. 

A Sneaker Swap will be available during uniform distribution each summer.

Fees

Base fee for all cheerleaders at initial registration.
If invited to participate in the Competition, there will be an additional fee.

Please note: Our program has grown, in order to not have girls compete against each other, we will have 1 competition squad for Pee Wee and and one for Seniors. With risk management in mind, we aim to have a healthy balance of athletes to experienced coaches ratio on each team.  This will vary depending upon the coaching staff and personnel.
