About Our Competitive Season

Our Comp Season is an extension of our regular season.  We welcome all athletes who cheered with us in the Fall to continue cheering into the competitive season with us.  

Uniform Fees - New Uniform Package $175
Each cheerleader is required to own their own uniform.  The price of the new uniform is in addition to registration fee.  We will host a consignment sale in August at the field.  Uniform fittings will occur in late August and payment will be due by 9/15.  

The only other requirements will be "Nike Pro" style shorts, cheer shoes and makeup, which is determined by each squad.  

Travel Expenses
All travel fees and expenses are the parent's responsibility.   We will set up hotel blocks and encourage you to stay within those blocks, however, it is not required.  Hotel information will be announced throughout the season as it becomes available.

Gym Rentals
As the competition season approaches, your coaches may request that the team practices on a full floor at a local gym.  While there are some team fees built into registration and some teams have fundraisers to help with these costs once those run out, you may be asked to help offset the cost of these rentals.  The additional out of pocket costs for gym rentals shouldn't exceed $100 per season and are primarily for our Pee Wee, Youth and Junior Teams.  

Extended Season
Should your team win a bid to attend The One or The Finale, your child will be invited to participate in an extended season.  While this isn't mandatory, we highly urge to do so.  The coaches will work to find a schedule that works for the kids who may be participating in Spring sports.  There will also be optional fundraising efforts for those attending those events. 

Time Commitment 

Practice Schedules.

Most squads will practice 2-3 nights per week.  

Practice schedules are determined by the coaching staff for each squad. 

Practices will be held outside on our field until we receive permits.  We will practice at local schools within the Northeast feeder system.  The nights that your coaches choose are subject to change due to weather, school closings and/or permits. You will be notified by your team mom as soon as this happens.
