SEASONAL INFORMATION

Cheer Season:
The regular season Cheerleading program is for girls and boys in 2nd - 8th grades and runs from mid August until mid November culminating with cheerleading teams performing at half time of their region's playoff and championship games.

Cost:
The cost is $75 for the season.

Regions:
Schools are placed in geographic regions and come together to a regional site to practice and play games. CYO Cheerleading is open to youth of all denominations. If you have any questions about which region you should participate in, please contact your regional athletic director.

Coaches:
CYO coaches are volunteers who invest many hours of time and energy to make great memories for kids. Coaches are required to take the ASEP course (American Sport Education Program), the Called to Protect Class, submit a CYO background check, Concussion Management Training and attend all required coaches meetings. Only CYO certified coaches with a current badge may assist with the team or occupy the team side of the field.

Practice:
Practice days and times will be determined by the individual region coaches. Practice is an important component to building a strong Cheer Team. Consistent attendance at practice is strongly recommended.

Games:
Games are played every Saturday beginning the first Saturday after Labor Day until mid November. A game schedule is given to all coaches as soon as it becomes available. The schedule will also be available on our website: cyocamphoward.org

Gate Fee:
There is a gate fee of $2.00 per adult and $1.00 per student (1st - 12th grade) charged for all CYO regular season football games and playoff games. This fee helps defray the expense of site monitors, officials, field rentals and keeps participant fees from increasing.
