Cheer FAQS
Here are questions commonly asked for Cheerleading. If you have others, please contact a board member or call the hotline 630-230-1070
This sport focuses on fundamental cheerleading skills with an emphasis on teamwork, safety and sportsmanship. Cheerleaders are expected to work as a team and attend two or more practices per week depending on age and ability level. The squads cheer at home and away Panther football games on Saturdays or Sundays starting in August through the first week of November. We expect to cheer at a minimum of six games and participate in local competitions. Parental support of their child’s squad and coaches is necessary for the success of the program.
What are my financial obligations?
What are the dates of the season? The cheer season will start with July 23, 2012 and end in mid November unless the cheer team attends the State Competition in December. The exact date is also dependent on how the football team you daughter cheers for performs, and when the end of the year parties are scheduled.
When do the girls have practice?
them.
What if my daughter is not able to make every practice? Cheer is a travel sport. Each squad begins early in the season to develop a competition routine and the girls need to be at each and every practice. If you're daughter is participating in another activity that will prohibit her from attending practices regularly you may want to consider if Panther's is another activity she should be involved with. We want this to be a positive experience for everyone so please consider this when you and your daughter make this commitment.
Do the girls compete in any cheer competitions?
