2012 WWP Cheer Information

Practice Information and Commitment

The 2012 cheer season begins on August 1^st. The regular season runs through the end of October. During the month of August, practices are held 4 evenings a week (Monday through Thursday) for competitive teams and 3 evenings a week (Tuesday through Thursday) for instructional teams.

 

If a cheer team qualifies for Regional competition, practices will continue through the month of November. If a cheer team qualifies for National competition, practices will continue through the first week of December.

 

**Competition teams may have additional practices during September, October and November in preparation for competition.

**We do not recognize any other sport as taking priority over cheerleading from the first day of practice through December 31^st. All cheer related obligations will be viewed as a priority over other athletic and/or social activities.

Attendance

Excellent attendance is an essential part of being a member of a competition cheer team.  The success of the team depends on many elements. One of the most important is the team practicing together without any cheerleaders absent. For the team to be successful, we must have dedicated and committed cheerleaders and supportive parents. Commitment means attending every practice, every game and every competition or Pop Warner activity. 

Game Information

Our season includes a scrimmage and 7 regular football games. Games are usually played on Sunday, but can be Saturday evening. Playoff games follow the regular season and our cheerleaders ALWAYS support the football team.

Game Start Times:

• Flag 9:00 am
• Mitey Mites 10:00 am
• Junior Pee Wee 11:30* am
• Pee Wee 1:00* pm
