Shore Pop Warner Cheerleading General Information

Practice Schedule

Flag

• Coaches will notify the cheerleaders prior to 7/30/08.  Usually two nights/week to start.....

Mighty Mites, Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee and Midgets

• The first two weeks we must practice 10 hours each week per national rules for “conditioning.”  We will practice Monday-Friday, 6-8pm-county property by racetrack in Oceanport.  Coaches will notify the cheerleaders/parents the schedule for the remainder of the season.

NOTES:

• Coaches may add additional practices or changes practices as needed.

• Up until school begins the max. hours allowed for practice is 10 hours. 

• Once school begins, then the max. hours are 6 hours per national rules.

Squad Break Down

• Flag-5 (by 7/31), 6 and 7 year olds who do not make the 7/31 cutoff for mighty mites.  (kindergarten, first and some second graders). 

• The remainder of the squads-mighty mites, jr. pee wees, pee wees, midgets-will try to keep the max amount of cheerleaders together in each grade but this is not guaranteed due to the 7/31 cut off date at each level. 

NOTES:

This 7/31 cutoff date is per national rules and we cannot change it.  There is a 35 limit per squad.  First come-First Serve.

Game Times

The following times are approximate. Each game last about 1 and 1/2 hours except for flag which is approximately 1 hour.  Home games are played at Shore Regional High School.  We do travel for away games.  If the boys play, then we cheer (including rain, midweek games, bowl games, playoff games, etc.).  The majority of the games are played on Sundays.  Cheerleaders are expected to be on the field anywhere between 15 minutes and 1/2 hour prior to the game to warm up.  The coaches will advise the girls at the beginning of the season.  This must be done to participate in the hello cheer and half time routine. 

• Flag                  9AM

• Mighty Mite     9AM

• Jr. Pee Wee    10:30 AM

• Midgets           Noon

• PeeWee           1:30 PM

NOTES: EXPECT MANY CHANGES

Competition

• Past years teams have competed.  The decision to compete will depend on whether or not the girls/parents are interested, committed and  IF there are enough coaches who can volunteer this additional time.  Even if a squad decides to compete an individual may chose not to. 

• We provide the shell, skirt and game day jacket (not the one you may purchase) which needs to be turned in a the end of the year. 

• At the uniform handout you must purchase the following items:
