Eligibility
Any child residing in the NC boundaries of Battleground School District wishing to cheer is eligible to participate if they are 5 years old by July 31st and not older than 15 years old on July 31st.
Pop Warner sets the limits on teams, depending on the number of adult coaches. A small squad consists of 12 cheerleaders and requires 2 adult coaches. A medium squad consists of 24 or fewer not below 13 cheerleaders and requires 3 coaches. A large squad consists of 25-35 cheerleaders and 4 coaches. There are no tryouts. However, the cheer coordinator assigns participants to teams on a first-come, first served basis; based on age, date of registration and payment, experience to, make a team complete (i.e., tumblers and flyers), and prior head coach recommendations.
Participants may request to participate on a particular team, but NC does not guarantee that the request will be granted. If your cheerleader is returning and the Head Coach does not think your cheerleader is ready to move up, you will be informed.
Team placements will be announced in mid-July. We cannot announce teams prior to that time until all registrations are finished. Changes in rosters can always be made after that date due to late registrations, drop outs, eligibility.
Practice Schedule and Time Commitment
The season begins August 1st. The regular season runs through the end of October. The season will continue through the end of November if the team qualifies for regional’s or through mid-December if the team qualifies for Nationals. Cheer will also continue if their assigned football qualifies for playoffs, which will also lead into November.
During the month of August, practices are held 5 days a week. Each practice is 2 hours. During the months of September and October, the practice schedule is reduced to 3 days per week; 2 hours each practice. In addition, cheerleaders cheer at the football games, which are typically held on Sundays and maybe Saturday. Parents are responsible for transporting their cheerleader to all games.
If a cheer squad qualifies for Regionals, practices will continue throughout the month of November with regional competition held the Friday after Thanksgiving. Travel will happen over Thanksgiving Holiday. Cheer Teams will leave the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
If a cheer squad qualifies for nationals, practices will continue for the first week of December, and travel to Orlando, Florida will take place the second week of December.
The specific practice schedule will be determined based on facility availability and team placement. Head Coach will issue practice schedule.
Attendance
Due to the nature of the sport practiced missed by one cheerleader has a significant impact on the squad, particularly on the cheerleader’s stunt team. As a result, practices may only be missed due to illness (with doctor’s note) or, if the head coach is notified in advance by parent, due to a compelling personal reason. If 3 unexcused practices are missed the Head coach and Cheer Coordinator have the option to send the player back through conditioning or remove from competition team.
Please make an effort to schedule your family vacations during June and July. Though we allow some flexibility for pre-arranged vacations, August is a critical month where skill sets are being evaluated and positions determined. Your child may be cut from the team for poor attendance.
Any excessive absences will be reviewed by Coach, Cheer Coordinator and Board for action to be taken. The participant will be given a verbal and/or written warning.
