Volunteering:

Our non-profit is run by 100% 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. 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.

Volunteer to Coach:

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) – 10.19.25– 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

-Nationals (Charlotte NC) – during the 2nd week of December

*all cheerleaders, except JTM, will need to purchase a competition uniform for an additional cost of ~$100~ due NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 8th*

Fall registration for cheer includes:

- Practice t-shirt

- Bow(s)

-Pink socks for October

-Game-day uniform rental. (Must return the game-day tank and skirt)

-A game-day bucket to decorate

-Team backpack and jacket (given in October if athlete participates in ECC competition(s))

-All cheerleaders are required to purchase black spandex style shorts and white CHEER shoes.

*the program will cover the East Coast Conference cheer competition & the Southeast Region cheer competition should teams advance. All cheerleaders are expected to participate in all season fundraisers to help cover costs associated. Cheerleaders that opt out of competing at the East coast level may be subject to a $50 fine IF the team becomes ineligible to participate.

*Teams advancing to Nationals: costs are about $1200 per cheerleader (includes travel, credentials, hotel, food). The program will assist with fundraising opportunities 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 2 years 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 the scholarship form.

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.
