Jr. Mustangs Cheerleading

Things To Know Before You Register...

The season for Jr. Mustangs Cheerleading lasts from approximately June 1^st through November 15^th. It is customary to have two (2) practices each week during the summer and one Friday after school practice during the school year. Detailed practice schedules will be handed out at the Parent Meeting. Although summer practices are in most cases non-mandatory, each cheerleader is required to participate in 15 full practices before the first game and/or pre-season performance in mid-August.

Furthermore, applicants who have regular Friday afternoon and/or Saturday morning or afternoon commitments from mid August through November (i.e. volleyball, soccer, music lessons, etc.) should not apply as this is when all games will take place. Other activities cannot be considered when scheduling practices as practice times are based on the availability of coaches and facilities.

Registration Fee

A $100 non-refundable registration fee is required each year at the time of registration. These funds cover in part administrative costs associated with the program including, but not limited to: insurance coverage, safety certification for coaches, website, photocopies, bank fees, shipping costs, spirit programs, materials and supplies for signs and cheerleader rewards.

Should a cheerleader not complete any part of the season (due to removal from the squad, injury or other reason) any upfront fees will not be refunded. No refunds will be issued for apparel or supplies of any kind.
