COMPETITIONS
Competition registration fees are included in the monthly tuition. We plan to
attend approximately eight competitions beginning in December until our season ends in April. The competitions
will be mostly local with a possibility of one or two out-of-state national competitions. We do NOT charge for national competition fees which normally cost $90 - $100 per competition.
However, we do have two mandatory fundraisers per season to help cover the costs of the team's entry fee.
Please see "Mandatory Fundraisers" below for more details.
TEAMS
The number of teams and their division will be determined and posted after our tryouts are held.
FUNDRAISERS/MANDATORY FUNDRAISERS
CheerForce fundraises all season long. All but two (2) fundraisers are optional and benefits your individual
account which can be used to offset your out-of-pocket expenses (i.e. monthly fees, uniforms, etc.). As mentioned above,
CheerForce holds two (2) mandatory fundraisers per season. These fundraisers help pay for competitions fees, choreography,
and music fees, etc. These two mandatory fundraisers benefit the CheerForce teams and are necessary to keep our monthly
fees affordable to everyone.
Each participant is given the option to participate in the mandatory fundraisers and raise the set minimum amount of
profit necessary or you may choose the buy out option. The buy out option means you do not have
to participate in the mandatory fundraisers because you will pay the set minimum profit fee.
For example, we may say that you have to sell ten items which will equal a profit of $40.
You have the following options:
- Sell 10 items and profit the $40 for the CheerForce account; or
- If you sell less than 10 items, you would just pay the profit difference totally $40; or
- Decide not to sell at all and just pay the $40 to CheerForce
