Additional practices may be added during competition weeks or in the weeks leading up to competitions to allow the team extra time to prepare. Families will be notified in advance of any additional practice dates.Athletes will have the opportunity to showcase everything they have learned by participating in two local cheer competitions, including the Maine State Cheer Championship on February 28, 2027, in Bangor, Maine.
Attendance & Team Commitment
Cheerleading is a team sport, and every athlete plays an important role in the team's routine. Stunts, formations, transitions, and other portions of the routine rely on athletes practicing together consistently.By registering for this program, families are committing to regular attendance at practices and scheduled competitions. We understand that illnesses, emergencies, and unavoidable conflicts happen; however, families should make every effort to have their athlete attend all scheduled practices, particularly as competitions approach.Additional practices may be scheduled during competition weeks or in the weeks leading up to a competition. Advance notice will be provided whenever possible.All parents/guardians will be required to review and sign an Attendance & Team Commitment Acknowledgement as part of the registration process.
