Volunteering
Our non-profit is run by 100% unpaid volunteers.
In order for our association to exist we REQUIRE our parents to volunteer. There are many tasks that must be covered by parents in order for the association to function, such as needing parents to help paint the fields, volunteering to be a Mandatory Play Counter, volunteering for our chain gangs, field set-up, field take-down, field clean-up, help with fundraiser events, and helping run the concession stands during our home games. The purpose of concessions is to provide the revenue necessary to pay for the officials, time keeper, and possible BSN live coverage . A full day of games costs over $2000 . As you can see there are many areas where we need your help. We also offer a volunteer opt-out option, during check out you can pay $150 to opt-out. If you cannot volunteer, you may also contribute by providing in-kind donations equaling $150 with paid receipts. In-Kind donations could include things like : Packs of Gatorade, Boxes of Chips, Concession Candy and Cookies, Boxes of Sodas, Packs of Water Bottles, Boxes of Juice, Canopy Tent(s), etc.. These items ($150 worth) must be provided to the Concessions director no later than August 1, 2026, otherwise paying the opt out fee or being added to the season volunteer schedule.

Volunteer to Coach:
We need coaches established for every age group for our tackle football teams. If you are interested in applying for a coach's position, please register here!

**Background checks must be performed for all coaches and team parents. Mandatory Coaches training will be provided for all new coaches & head coaches.


Cheer Practice:
We will start cheer conditioning in the month of May.

Our practices begin on July 15th in which teams will practice up to 10 hours per week. After school starts, practices will decrease to 6 hours per week. All competing teams cheer through the second week of December after qualifying for the Pop Warner National Competition.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (exact days depends on your athletes team & are subject to change)
6:00-8:30
Practice Location: Fred Lee Park
895 Emerson Dr 32909
*times, days, locations are subject to change
  • JTM will practice 1x/week for no more than 2 hours (per rule book) 

Practice locations:
Will be determined by the board once teams have been formed. Possible practice locations:
o Fred LEE Park
o Gymnastic Facility (mat practices only!) (Facility TBD)
- Mat practices may be held prior to competition to provide the athletes with an opportunity to practice on a competition mat –(Dates TBD)

Game-day:
All cheer teams are REQUIRED to participate in Saturday game days. The first game of the day starts at 8:30 am and the last game starts at 6:00 pm.
We recognize that a lot of our families have athletes in both our cheer and football program. Since teams are determined by age brackets that are different for both, there is no guarantee that your athlete will cheer for their sibling or vice versa. We realize this may make a longer day for you, however, our goal is to place your child on a team that is going to make them the most successful in their sport.
We typically have 4 home games at Palm Bay High School and 4 away games. The East Coast Conference is made up of 12 associations spanning from South Brevard County to North Volusia County.
 
Competition:
- East Coast Conference (Daytona Beach FL) – usually 3rd Sunday of October – we typically spend the night before at a hotel near the event since check-in time is 7:00 am.
- Regionals (Orlando FL) – Thanksgiving weekend (practices may be held Thanksgiving day and/or Black Friday, Performances may be held Black Friday-end of Weekend)
-Nationals (Charlotte NC) – during the 2nd week of December

*JTM will compete at East Coast Conference ONLY
 
Fall registration for cheer includes:
- Sideline/Game-day uniform rental. (Must return the game-day tank and skirt)
-Competition Uniform rental (Must return the competition uniform and props)
-Bow(s)
-A game-day bucket to decorate

-All cheerleaders are required to purchase black spandex style shorts and white CHEER shoes.
(Team backpack may be available for individual purchase)

*the program will cover the cost of the East Coast Conference cheer competition & the Southeast Region cheer competition should teams advance. All cheerleaders are REQUIRED to participate in all season fundraisers to help cover additional costs associated. Cheerleaders that opt out of competing at the East coast level WILL be subject to a $50 fine, as the PB Rockets are automatically charged per participant based on the locked Rosters at the beginning of the season.

*Teams advancing to Nationals: The program will utilize fundraising opportunities to assist with national fees as much as possible but any remaining costs must be the responsibility of the athletes parent. Sponsorships are a huge help to our programs to assist with advancing teams.
***Rockets have sent teams to Nationals over the past 3 years in a row so we would like to prepare early for the associated costs to go to Charlotte NC. 

 We offer payment plans for the regular season during checkout and scholarships may be available , please email [email protected] for scholarship requests.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. You will receive a confirmation email at the end of the registration process.

Thank You,
Alexia Anderson
