If my child is returning and her/his uniform still fits, can she/he reuse it?
Yes! You must still attend the uniform fitting. Please have your cheerleader wear her/his uniform to uniform fitting and our uniform rep will be checking uniforms and making any necessary changes. If part of the uniform fits, but you need to replace part of the uniform that is an option as well. We also will have an opportunity for girls to trade uniform pieces who would like to trade up to a bigger size.
What if my child is absent?
Your cheerleader is required to learn the missed material outside of practice by connecting with a squad teammate. Your cheerleader could meet with a teammate before practice, after practice, at school, or over the weekend to learn the material. We may also have some optional practices. This is your cheerleader’s responsibility. Excessive absences will result in your cheerleader being pulled/benched from stunting or cheering if she/he is not prepared.

I see that there is a question in Cheer Registration regarding weight, do I have to share my cheerleader’s weight?
No! Cheerleaders, please put a “100” in the spot asking for your weight. The weight question is for Football players only and the registration system does not allow for this question to be deleted in the cheer registration. Thank you for understanding!
