Who We Are
Dear Parents and Athletes,
We are so excited that your athlete has expressed an interest in the Cavalier Junior Cheer program! In this packet you will find the guidelines and expectations for the Cavalier Junior Cheer program. We ask that you read this entire packet carefully with your future cheerleader and ask any questions that may arise. This will ensure a clear and complete understanding of the commitment required for participation – for both cheerleaders and parents.
Being a part of a cheerleading team requires time commitments. During the cheer season, athletes are expected to participate in practices, tumbling and choreography during scheduled practice times, in addition to games and competitions. There will also be fundraisers and other events that we consider mandatory for the cheer season. Unless discussed in advance, athletes should understand that only serious illness, injury, mandatory school activities and special family circumstances are legitimate reasons to miss a cheer activity.
We understand many athletes participate in multiple sports that could potentially affect attendance. We ask that you please communicate with the coaches and program director well in advance.
We have tried to outline the program in the most direct terms possible. We realize that it may seem overwhelming at first; however, if we work together, we can accomplish all of the goals set for the coming year and minimize the burden on each family. The rules outlined are fairly enforced. Our coaches have the right to make any decision that they feel is appropriate. Additionally, all OCCA (Oregon Cheerleading Coaches Association) and NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) rules and regulations will be enforced.
FUNDRAISING IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR PROGRAM, AND WILL REDUCE OUT OF POCKET COSTS! Estimated expenses will be explained in further detail in this packet. Our goal is 100% participation from each of our athletes to help families offset the costs.
Please be sure to complete the registration form located at www.cavaliercheer.com. Your signature indicates that you have read, understood, and agree to abide by the rules and expectations for Cavalier Junior Cheer. All registration documents are required to be turned in by June 1st, 2023 .
Thank you,
