As an organization competition cheer has been in effect for many years. Previously we competed as individual districts. To effectively represent CYFA as a whole, four years ago a district wide program was approved, and the Wildcats were born. Over the last four years we have grown the program and this season the organization will continue that tradition. Our goals is to offer a competitive cheer experience to those who are not ready to choose it year round.

We look forward to a wonderful season!!

We do have to enforce stricter rules than sideline to ensure success due to the nature of competition. However if you have any questions please contact competitioncheer@cyfa.org. We want to ensure every cheerleader who wants to be on our competition team has the opportunity

• Only 2 excused practices will be allowed, after two, your daughter will be removed from the team.
• Competition requires every girl at every practice to be successful.
• Competitions are on Sundays- we will not know the times until about the Wed before the comp. You can just plan on all day.
• If your daughter is signed up for sideline cheer through CYFA and does not fulfill her sideline responsibilities she will be asked to leave the team.
• 2 late arrivals to practice equal one absence.
• Arriving on time means in practice attire, hair up, no jewelry, cheer shoes.
• Any cheerleader that misses a competition will be asked to leave the team.
• Most of communication will be handled via e-mail so please make sure we have an address that you can get often. If you are away form e-mail often through the day maybe find an "e mail" buddy " on the team that can keep you informed.
• We gather together prior to a competition to ride together- this is required.
• Competition team positions are based on what is best for the team. We unfortunately do not have time to try each girl in each position that she may be very well suited for.
• We only practice on Monday and Wednesday - your daughter will be required to condition, stretch, and practice at home. -This will be very evident to your coach. If you have a conflict with the pratice times please contact the competition director to discuss.
• A tumble class is not required, but certainly helps.
• All cheerleaders and parents are expected to show good sportsmanship at all times. (Practice and competitions).
• No gossiping about our team, another team, any coaches, any individual at or away from practice.
• No profanity, abusive language etc (at practice, competitions)
• Practice is closed- there will be no parents, siblings, friends allowed at practice.
• All squad and routine decisions are left to the discretion of the coaches.
• Please do not use practice and competitions as a punishment for your daughter. We know this is a busy time of year, but if you use practice as a punishment it not only punishes your daughter, but the entire team.
