About Our Full Year Competition Program
Athletes cheering Full Year Competition Program can opt out of the "Mini Season" portion. All athletes must be registered by October 1st. Practices for athletes who choose to opt out will start November 4th.
Registration - $600
This fee includes a jersey, a Fall tshirt, socks, a Winter tshirt and all competition fees.
Payment plans are available. All players will also be given $300 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 by September 29. 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, which are $20. If you register by July 1, your child will receive their bow for FREE! 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.

Travel Expenses
We have two competitions that will require an overnight stay as they are two day competitions. 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.
Time Commitment
Orientation is scheduled for July 29th and practices will start July 30th. Our season concludes at The Grand National Championship by the Sea in March. We will have a post season celebration that will be announced at a later time.
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 outdoors at the Bucs Field through the beginning of September when we start practicing inside 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.

The game schedule is typically released towards the end of August and we will release that information as quickly as possible.
