The cheerleading season runs from August to approximately the end of November. The total number of games that you will cheer will be based on the Football teams/divisions and your head coach's discretion.

Any damages and/or unapproved alterations are subject to a fine. Any uniform not returned by the due date will be subject to a replacement fee of $130.

Coaches will collect their team’s uniforms at the end of the season. It is the parent’s responsibility to return the uniform. You will be notified of the turn-in dates once your season concludes.
