About Our Winter Cheer Competition Program
All athletes who did not cheer during our Fall season will be required to attend a Winter Tryout on Monday, November 12 at 7pm in the cafeteria at George Fox. There are no guarantees for a Winter placement. Should you have any questions about tryouts and expectations, please email us [email protected]
Fees
Registration
All teams - $325
This fee includes competition fees for all competitions as well as a free gift.
Payment plans are available. All players will also be given $325 in raffle tickets that they can sell throughout the season to offset their registration and travel expenses.
Uniform Fees
Each cheerleader is required to own their own uniform. New uniforms can be purchased for $100 or you can shop from our consignment center for used uniforms at specific dates. All payments are due at time of fitting. Your child's uniform will be yours to keep and the fee is non refundable once paid. All cheerleaders are also required to own a Competition Bow. If you do not have one or need a replacement bow, they are $20 each. The only other requirements will be cheer shoes and makeup, which is determined by each squad.
Music Fees
All competition music must now be licensed. In order to offset the costs, we are now requiring cheerleaders to pay a one time music fee of $10 each year.
***Payment plans are available and can be seen on the registration portal***
Travel Expenses
We have three away competitions and all travel fees and expenses are the parent's responsibility.
For Lancaster, we will set up a hotel block or you may choose to stay elsewhere or travel to and from competition that day.
For Ocean City, we will set up several blocks of rooms for you to choose from or you may choose to stay elsewhere.
For Virginia Beach, we ask that everyone stay at the same resort and arrive on Friday. Dinner will be provided for all cheerleaders and their families one evening.
Hotel information will be announced by November 15.
Time Commitment
Orientation is scheduled for Monday, November 26 and practices will start that week as well. Our season concludes at The Grand National Championship by the Sea in March.
Practice Schedules.
Practice schedules are determined by the coaching staff for each squad.
Practices will be held indoors at local schools. 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.
