FAQs

How are teams assigned?

Teams are assigned by the program directors. Teams are made up of all ages and skill levels. Assignments will begin by placing siblings/honoring request forms and then built from there to create evenly skilled teams.

In the event we have enough cheerleaders to cheer for every team in every league then placements will be determined more according to age. Sibling requests will still be granted.

What if I can't attend a practice or clinic?

That's okay! We created this experience keeping in mind that everyone is busy and might have conflicts along the way. Communicate your conflict with your coach and determine a plan. Clinic material will be shared online following the clinic to allow all cheerleaders access to the materials even if they cannot attend.

How do I request a team?

We will honor all team requests to the best of our ability. If you would like to request a certain team, please fill out our Team Request Form.
