Devils
All-Star cheerleading is an “Elite” Cheerleading program designed for young athletes to perform and compete at a competitive level. It is also designed to teach discipline, team work, dedication, commitment and good sportsmanship.
WHAT DO THE WEEKLY PRACTICES CONSIST OF. Weekly practices for the team members are EXTREMELY important. Each practice focuses on tumbling, stunting, dancing, and pulling together performance and competition routines. The squad DOES NOT benefit to its full potential unless all squad members are in attendance. Regular attendance is expected from all team members. If your child wants to participate in any other outside activities you need to make sure that it does not conflict with the cheerleading schedule or calendar for that month. They will not be excused from outside activities for cheerleading. Starting September 1, 2009 there will be an absence policy. All cheerleaders are allowed one absence. Exceptions are: funeral, wedding, school activity for grade, etc. If students are ill they are expected to come and watch class so they do not fall behind. If a student has more than one absence they will be spaced out of a competition. Tuition is $75.00 Hot Tamales /$135.00 Dare Devils & Heat Wave/$150.00 She Devils. If you would like to take an extra tumbling class it will only be an additional $10.00.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME. Being on time shows respect for your coaches, and team-mates. All-Star cheerleading teaches young athletes that being on time is part of being responsible. Being on time is crucial to our program and is expected from all team members (which is basically the responsibility of the PARENTS). All team members should always plan on being at least 5-10 minutes early to every practice, performance, and competition.

WILL MY CHILD HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE IN THE ALL-STAR CHEERLEADING PROGRAM???
The coaches will do everything they can to give your child an experience they won’t forget. Please keep in mind that with all of the practicing and time commitment, the coaches need the HELP of the parents to keep a positive attitude when your child may get burned out or may not want to come to practice. Being a part of this program is a big COMMITMENT and we ask that if your child makes the commitment to be an All-Star cheerleader you help them keep the yearly commitment. It is a very rewarding experience and we are so excited that you will be a part of our program.
