FEES FOR THE 2011-2012 SEASON:
Below is a listing of fees that you can expect to pay as a participant in Cheerforce. Fundraising will be available
to help defer the costs, and each participant will have an individual account that fundraising profits will be applied to.
Team Fees: $45.00 per month charged June through March due on the 1st of each month.
Uniform Fee
Estimate: $285 (includes top, skirt, hair bow, sneakers and is yours to keep)
Try-out Fee: $10.00 (non-refundable)
PRACTICES:
Practices are held at our
gym which is located in the Cameo Kitchens complex, just off the Arch Rock Exit of 322 in Mifflintown. Practices are
generally closed sessions with the exception that parent viewing times (usually fifteen minutes to one-half hour) are assigned
to each team either at the beginning or end of each practice. A parent lounge is available for your convenience.
Summer Practice Schedule
June 6 - August 25 (12 weeks)
Summer practices
begin the week of June 6, 2011. Practices will be held evenings Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each cheerleader
will practice one night per week. Following tryouts, you will be notified which night you will practice. Additional
practices and/or workshops may be scheduled from time to time.
Fall Practice Schedule
August 28 - end of March 2012
Fall practices begin on August 28, 2011. Practices will be held primarily
on Sunday afternoons/evenings during the school year. We will post an alternating schedule whereby each team will have
one Sunday off per month, and substitute a weekday evening instead. Specific time slots for each team will be announced
at a later date.
Practices are MANDATORY. Any request to miss a practice must be approved by the head coach.
The Cheerforce policy on attendance is explained in further detail in our team handbook.
COMPETITIONS:
Competition registration fees are included in the monthly team fee. Cheerforce attends
approximately eight competitions beginning in December and continuing through April. Competitions are typically local
throughout the season. Cheerforce will attend the ACDA Reach the Beach All-Star Nationals on March 31 & April 1,
2012. Cheerforce does NOT charge for national competition fees which are approximately $140-$150 per cheerleader.
However, Cheerforce does conduct approximately 2-3 MANDATORY team fundraisers per season to help cover the costs of the team's
entry fee. Please see "Mandatory Fundraisers" below for more details.
TEAMS:
Team Divisions (i.e., tiny, mini, youth, junior, senior) and the Level will be based on interest
and talent at each age level.
FUNDRAISERS FOR INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS AND MANDATORY
TEAM FUNDRAISERS:
Cheerforce offers optional fundraisers (usually 2 per month) to
benefit your individual account. Funds from your individual account can be used to offset your out-of-pocket expenses
such as monthly team fees, uniforms, etc. Cheerforce holds approximately 2-3 mandatory fundraisers per season, including
a Bingo event in the fall. These fundraisers help pay for competition registration fees, choreography, music, gym expenses,
etc. These mandatory fundraisers benefit the Cheerforce teams and are necessary to keep monthly fees affordable to everyone.
A buy-out option is available for those who choose not to participate.
