Cheerleading is a year around sport, we will start practicing after tryouts. We attend UCA camp towards the beginning of June. Camp is REQUIRED. We meet together during the summer to practice cheers and prepare for competition material for the whole month of June. Football runs through August-October and basketball starts end of October or the first part of November until January. We compete in three competitions.
Estimated Cost is approximately $1400/cheerleader
