How it Works - Our cheer squads travel with their football team and perform in front of our fans during each game. The season runs August 1- End of October. In addition to cheering for our teams, our cheer squads are involved in a competitive cheer competition at the end of October. Jr. Pee Wee may have a chance to advance to Regionals in November and Nationals in December, depending on the leagues' cheer planning. Cheer squad sizes are limited and are filled on a first come, first serve basis. We do not hold tryouts. To guarantee placement on a squad, we strongly suggest signing up early. Our cheerleading squads are an essential part of our football program. All girls and boys are welcome. Cheer squad participants are the same age as the football team with which they are associated with (if available). Divisions by Age:

Tiny Mite = 5 thru 7 year old

Mighty Mite = 7 thru 9 years old

Jr Pee Wee = 8 thru 11 year old

PeeWee = 9 thru 12 year old 

Varsity = 10 THRU 14 year old

   *League age is determined based on actual age as of July 31st of current year.

Step 1 - Register your child for cheer on-line. There are a couple of mandatory on-site fittings/registrations events in the area that usually occur in June. At this event you must get fitted for a uniform.

Step 2 - Build cheer squads. Board members will look at prior experience and location to assign cheerleaders to squads. (If a child cannot be placed in the desired school area, then parents can request a refund minus any online registration fees.)

Step 3 - Get your paperwork together. 

   1. Copy of an official state birth certificate (hospital keepsake birth 

     certificates/ required. Birth announcements are NOT accepted)     

   2.  Parent/Player Contract Form - name must match birth certificate exactly.   

   3. Pop Warner Physical Form (two-sided) signed by the doctor (dated after 

     January 1st of the current year and before the 1st day of practice).  Don't wait

     until August to get get your physical.     

   4. Year-End report card for current year (all 4 quarters).   

   5. CCPW Concussion Form and Read the Cardiac Arrest information handout.

Step 4 - Cheer practice begins 1st week of August. Practices will consist of 5 days a week, 2 hours a day for the first 2 to 3 weeks to allow for all participants to reach their mandatory 20 hours of conditioning before jamboree. Parents must contribute time to help with the program during fundraising events and concessions during the season.

Step 5 - Jamboree and official PARTICIPANT certification dates will be August 20th

Step 6 - 1st Games schedule TBD. No games will be held on Labor day weekend. 

Step 7 - League Cheer Competition is at the end of October. Depending on placement for Jr. Pee Wee and above, additional regional/national competitions may occur in November and December, needing additional fundraising or out of pocket expenses.

Step 8 - Concluding the season, participants will wash and return their cheer skirt, sleeves and shell to CCPW.
