Do we participate in a cheer competition?
Yes. Our cheer squads participate in a league cheer competition at the end of the regular season in November the first or second Sunday.
Will we have to provide game day snacks and drinks?
Yes. Cheer will have a game day snack schedule that includes halftime snacks, after-game snacks, and after-game drinks.
Every athlete’s family is expected to participate when it is their turn on the schedule to help provide items for the team.
How much volunteer time is expected from parents?
Parents are expected to volunteer for cheer activities throughout their athlete’s season. This includes:
-Working the snack bar during cheer’s assigned week at the practice field.
-Working one home game snack bar shift during cheer’s assigned snack bar day (not during your athlete’s game).
Parent volunteers help keep the program running smoothly and support the team throughout the season.
What kind of fundraising will be required?
Every athlete is required to participate in the mandatory league fundraiser.
In addition to the league fundraiser, cheer teams will also have their own team fundraiser. Team fundraisers help cover costs such as end-of-season parties and team activities.
Cheer also has an optional fundraiser that goes directly toward the cost of cheer uniforms. This is a great way to help offset the cost of your athlete’s uniform.
