AMERICAN PRIDE CHEERLEADING

SPRING SEASON

American Pride Cheerleading offers a Spring Cheerleading Program which is approximately 8 weeks and primarily focuses on cheer conditioning and stunt execution. Registration will be open mid - December through March 26th with practices beginning the last week of March. Cheerleaders must be 5 years of age by December 31 of the preceding year. The fee is $150 per registrant (save $25 if your cheerleader registers early).

*Refund Policy: If a written refund request is made prior to squad assignments, a 50% refund will be issued. If a written refund request is made after squad assignments, no refund will be issued. Refund requests should be sent to treasurer@apyfl.org.

SQUADS:
Squad determination is based on the number of cheerleaders registered in the program.  Though we cannot guarantee, we will do our best to accommodate requests (based on skill level/experience/Director discretion) to keep siblings on the same squad. Assignments are generally determined by age but skill level and experience are also heavily weighted factors.
