Hi Everyone!

We would like to thank you for being part of a record-breaking half year evaluation!  As a result, it is possible we may be adding a 4th team to the schedule in order to allow our cheerleaders to contribute fully to their routines.  We are attaching the link for practice times over the next two weeks.  Because of the gym being closed on Labor Day, we are inviting certain athletes to practice this coming Monday, August 28th.  Reminder that $195 will be drafted from your account on September 1st for tuition.
Please find your child’s name, listed alphabetically by last name in the link below.  Beside their name will be their chosen time to attend the next practice.    If we have listed two times, they are currently being considered for two teams.  
If continuing on two teams is an option for you, definitely let us know.  If there is room on a team, it may be possible to continue on both teams.  The only additional cost is $40 per month.  Otherwise, we will assume to choose one team or the other after seeing them in person one more time to evaluate thoroughly.
If we decide to add a 4th team, we would divide our Monday athletes into two teams.  One of them would continue on Monday from 7:15-8:45 and the other would practice on Thursday evenings from 7:45-9:15 beginning Thursday September 7th.  These times are chosen based on the most full floor availability.  If you are chosen for a Monday team and CANNOT make it on Thursday nights in the future, please email cearaleighinfo@gmail.com directly.   All athletes should enter the gym on the far right side where they practiced last night.
Congratulations!!

We will be evaluating athletes based on age, tumbling, stunting, coordination/performance and jumps to divide into 3 teams.  Parents will be notified which team they made through email by Friday August 25th. If you are not able to attend evaluations on the 24th, please contact us at cearaleighinfo@gmail.com. All staff members for half year are current active coaches of our full year teams 🙂 

About The Program:

Cheer Extreme’s Half Year cheerleading team is the perfect introductory program for anyone interested in All Star cheerleading. It is designed to give more athletes the chance to participate in our program and get the “All Star” experience, at an affordable rate with a minimal time commitment. This is a great start for kids who have little to no experience. We can guarantee that your child will learn all of the basics of cheerleading in a fun and positive learning environment. The team competes locally, with a total of 3 local regionals and 1 national competition. 

During practice they will focus on gaining several different skill sets, including tumbling, stunting, and dancing. They will learn a choreographed routine to music and then prepare that routine to be performed at the competitions where they will either showcase or compete against other All Star Novice or Prep teams. This program generally moves at a slower pace to ensure that the athletes are gaining the skills they need to be successful. One of the main focuses is to build the confidence of kids so that they feel comfortable performing in front of a crowd.

The season runs from September through March, with practices occurring once a week.  We will hold an extra practice on the Friday before each of our 4 performances so please plan ahead. Times TBA.  

Tuition is drafted on the 1st of every month from September through March.  Athletes are invited to continue training through the month of April to prepare for full-year tryouts in May for $150.

ATTENDANCE:

Attendance is a big factor that determines our success.  Because teams only practice once a week, it is imperative that athletes attend.  Poor attendance will result in removal from the team.  

Practice times and days are determined by when staff and a full floor are most available throughout the week.  Our best estimate for times/days/teams is below but subject to change IF a significant amount of athletes have a conflict that cannot be moved.  Please note the age grid for our governing body USASF has changed this year significantly; if your child qualifies skill-wise for a team but is NOT age appropriate (based on who shows up for tryouts and what divisions are best for the majority of our half year clients), we may suggest placement in our full year program or class program instead to best suit the needs of your child.  Age Grid can be found here:
